The padding is the space between an element's content and its border. It is used to position the
content of the element inside the border.
To learn how to set an element's spacing properties, see "Spacing" on page478.
Tip
Use a negative left margin to create a hanging paragraph or image.
Guides
Guides are horizontal and vertical lines used to help in designing templates. They can only be
used in Print sections. Positioned Boxes (and any other objects that have their position set to
absolute) will snap to guides when moved within a few pixels of them.
To add a guide, press the Insert Horizontal Guide or Insert Vertical Guide buttons on the
Toolbar.
To move a guide, click and drag it to a new location. Double-clicking the guide brings up its
Edit dialog where its exact position can be adjusted.
To delete a guide, double-click on it and press the Delete button.
Using the CSS position property
An element can be positioned independently of the text flow by changing its position property
to absolute. When the element is placed inside another element, such as a Box, changing its
position property to absolute positions the element absolutely inside its 'parent'.
With the position property of an element set to absolute, the top or bottom and left or right
properties position the element inside its parent with exact values: pixels (px), centimeters (cm),
etc. Negative values are allowed.
For an explanation of all values that the position property can possibly have, see
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp.
Where to use it
In Print sections, setting the position property to absolute can be very useful in Print sections.
It takes the element out of the text flow, so that the element stays where it is on the page. On
