rows and columns. If you want rows or columns of uneven width,

allow around the original Page Setup dimensions or "trim area."
Note that if the setting is zero or you have View>Bleed Area
Guides unchecked, you won't see the bleed area displayed.
• For ruler guides, use the Guides tab to precisely create, edit or
delete ruler guides, or more commonly, just drag the guides from
the rulers.

Creating ruler guides
PagePlus lets you to set up horizontal and vertical ruler guides—non-printing
lines you can use to align headlines, pictures, and other layout elements.
Guides are by default "sticky" so that stuck objects can be dragged around the
page by their ruler guide—a great way to move previously aligned objects in
bulk and simultaneously.
• To create a ruler guide, click on a ruler, hold down your mouse button,
then drag onto your page. A ruler guide line appears parallel to the
ruler (Alt-drag to create the guide at 90 degrees to the ruler).
