Creating guides with the Guides palette
The Guides palette provides two methods for creating guides.
To create guides numerically using the Guides palette, click the Create a New•
Guide button at the top of the Guides palette or choose New from the palette
menu. Use the Guide Attributes dialog box to specify the Location, Direction,
and guide Type. You can also specify the View Scale at which the guide displays
(at the default value, 0%, the guide will always display). Choose a Guide Color
and specify whether it is Locked so it cannot be moved with the mouse. Click
Preview to see your guide on-screen before creating it, and then click OK.
The Guide Attributes dialog box
You can also display the Guide Attributes dialog box by double-clicking an existing 
guide in the layout.
To create guides automatically from the boundaries of a box, select the box and•
then choose Create Guides From Box from the palette menu. Use the Create
Guides From Box controls to adjust the positions of the guides that will be
placed at the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right sides of the box. The remaining
controls work the same as those in the Guide Attributes dialog box.
