PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS
74 | A Guide to QuarkXPress 2018
It is recommended that you create a copy of your file, before using adaptive scaling, 
especially if you have checked the Synchronize Box Attributes & Content option
on the Text, Picture, and None tabs of the Adapive Scaling dialog. This option
affects the source layout, and the sharing cannot be undone. It adds a large number
of items to the Contents palette.
Working with guides
Guides are nonprinting guidelines that help you to line up items and text in a
layout. There are three types of guides: Ruler guides, column and margin guides and
Dynamic guides.
Design grids are nonprinting guidelines that you can use to align items and text
according to text size and position.
For more information, see “
Understanding design grids.”
Column and margin guides
Column and margin guides show where a page’s outside margins are and where
columns (if any) should be placed.
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 “Guide Manager Pro.”
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).
