Aligning items using rulers and guides
Rulers display on the left and top of your scrapbook pages,
but they do not print. Rulers help you see the measurements
of selected items and place items on the page in a specic
location.
You can also use rulers to place guides on
your pages. These guides display
horizontally or vertically on your page to
help you align items. For example, you
can use guides to help you align a series
of shapes or images across your page.
When you rst install the software, there are half-inch
margin guides on each edge of the page. These can be
useful to remind you about non-printing areas if your printer
doesn’t print to the edges of the paper. (Try printing a draft
page, measuring the margins on all four sides, then setting
your guides at those measures.)
Adding and removing guides
You can add and remove individual guides, or remove
all guides:
• To add one or more guides to your page
for aligning items, click the ruler where you
want to place a guide.
(Clicking the left ruler places a horizontal
guide across the page; clicking the top
ruler places a vertical guide down the
page.) Then move and align the desired
items to the guide.
• To remove a single guide from the page, click the ruler
where the guide is located.
