Measurements palette is open when you drag a ruler guide, the guide's position is indicated
in the X field (for vertical ruler guides) or the Y field (for horizontal ruler guides).
If, as you create a horizontal ruler guide, you release the mouse button when the ruler
guide is positioned over the pasteboard, the ruler guide will extend across the pasteboard
and all the pages in the spread. If you release the mouse button when the horizontal ruler
guide is positioned over a document page, the ruler guide will display only on that page.
To reposition a ruler guide, click it, and then drag it to a different location when the guide
pointer displays. You can also double-click the ruler guide with the Item tool selected and
enter a new location into the Guide Manager Pro dialog box.
To remove a ruler guide, drag the guide off the page.
To remove all ruler guides from a page, scroll until a portion of the page displays, then
press Option/Alt and drag the guide back on to the ruler.
To remove all ruler guides from a spread's pasteboard, scroll until a portion of the pasteboard
displays, then press Option/Alt and click a portion of the ruler.

Snapping to guides
QuarkXPress lets you create a "magnetic field" around guides so that when you drag an
item close to a guide, it automatically aligns with it. This feature is called Snap to Guides
(View menu) and the width of the magnetic field is called the Snap Distance.
To control snapping with QuarkXPress controls, make sure View > Snap to Guides is
checked. To specify the distance, choose QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Print Layout >
Guides & Grid and enter a pixel value in the Snap Distance field.
You can also choose View > Snap to Page Grids to force items to align with the master
page grid. The value in the Snap Distance field applies to master page grids as well. For
more information, see "Snapping items to design grids."
Undoing and redoing actions
The Undo command (Edit menu) reverses the last action performed on an item. For
example, if you accidentally cut a picture box, the Undo command will bring the picture
box back into the layout from the Clipboard. The Redo command (Edit menu) lets you
reimplement an action you had undone.
Choose Edit > Undo (Command+Z/Ctrl+Z) to reverse the last action performed. The menu
item identifies the specific action that can be undone. For example, the Undo Deletion
command is available in the Edit menu after you have used the Item > Delete command.
Cannot Undo displays as gray text when the Undo feature is unavailable.
To reimplement the action, choose Edit > Redo (Command+Shift+Z/Ctrl+Y) after you
undo an action.
