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.
