Index

QuarkXPress automatically places column guides and margin guides in all new Print

layouts. You can specify their position in the Column Guides and Margin Guides

fields in the New Project dialog box (File > New > Project) or in the New Layout

dialog box (Layout > New).

When a master page is displayed in the project window, you can use the Master Guides

& Grid dialog box (Page > Master Guides & Grid) to change the placement of column

guides and margin guides. If you check Automatic Text Box in the New Project dialog

box (File > New > Project) or the New Layout dialog box (Layout > New), the values

you specify in the Margin Guides area define the size and placement of the automatic

text box.

For information about creating column and margin guides, see "Configuring a master

page grid."

For more information, see "Guides Palette."

Ruler guides

Ruler guides (or simply "guides") are nonprinting guidelines that you can position

manually. You can create ruler guides by dragging them off the horizontal and vertical

rulers (View > Rulers). You can create ruler guides on master pages and on individual

layout pages.

•

To create a horizontal ruler guide, click the top ruler; when the pointer displays,

drag the ruler guide into position on the page. To create a vertical ruler guide,

click the vertical ruler, and then drag the ruler guide onto the page when the

pointer displays. If the 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.
