Guides Palette
The Guides palette (Window > Guides) provides precision controls for creating
and editing on-screen guides. You can specify a location for a guide, whether
it’s horizontal or vertical, whether it applies to a page or entire spread, a display
color, and a view scale at which the guide displays. You can edit, copy, and paste
guides; mirror guides; create grids, rows, and columns of guides; create guides
from a box; and add bleed and safety guides.
See “Working with guides.”
Using the Guides palette
The Guides palette provides powerful controls for manipulating guides.
The Guides palette
The Guides palette works as follows:
Controls across the top of the palette, from left to right, let you create new ●
guides, mirror guides, show horizontal guides, show vertical guides, show
only current guides, and delete guides.
To sort guides by an attribute, click the column heading for that attribute. ●
To add columns of information to the palette, choose an option from the ●
Column Selector button at the right side of the list of columns.
The Spread column displays a number for each page or spread in the layout. ●
To display a page or spread, click that spread in the Spread column. To
display a spread’s guides in the palette, click the arrow next to the spread. To
edit a guide, double-click it.
To display a context menu of editing options, Control+click/Right-click in ●
each column. For example, the context menu for the Guide column includes
the following options: Cut Guide, Copy Guide, Paste Guide, Delete Guide and
Select All Guides.
