Ruler guides in Creative Studio help you organize content on the publication page efficiently. You can create guides on one page, then copy and paste them across other pages to maintain a consistent layout.
Two kinds of ruler guides are available:
Page guides — appear only on the single-spread page where you create them.
Spread guides — span the entire double-spread page and the editing area.
Show or hide ruler guides
Click the guide tool at the top-left corner of the working area to show guides.
Place your pointer on the vertical or horizontal ruler.
Drag to the desired position on the page.
Click the guide tool again to hide guides.
Select and move ruler guides
Unselected guides appear light blue; selected guides appear dark blue. When a guide is selected, the X and Y axis input fields activate.
Enter coordinates manually to move a guide to a precise position.
Click a guide to select it, then drag to reposition it.
Use arrow keys to nudge a selected guide up, down, left, or right.
To select multiple guides, drag a selection rectangle over them, or hold Shift and click each guide.
