Create ruler guides for a single page
 

You can create ruler guides on any page in your publication. Ruler guides (ruler guide: A non-printing horizontal or vertical guide that you can align to any point on a ruler.) that are created on a publication page are only visible on that page. Ruler guides that are created on a master page (master page: A background page that can be applied to one or more pages of a publication. Master pages contain elements, such as headers, footers, margin guides, and column guides, that can be applied to multiple pages.) are visible on every page to which that master page is applied.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To create a horizontal guide, position the mouse pointer over the horizontal ruler until you see the pointer change to Double-headed arrow.
    • To create a vertical guide, position the mouse pointer over the vertical ruler until you see the pointer change to Resize pointer.
  2. Drag the pointer until the new guide is where you want it.

 Notes 

  • If the Snap to Ruler Marks command is turned on, the ruler guide will snap to a ruler mark.

  • If the Snap to Objects command is turned on, the guide will snap to an object.
