Notes z Once you have the guides in place, chose Layout/guides and rulers/lock guides to avoid
accidentally repositioning them.

Self Assessment

State whether the following statements are true or false:

14. PageMaker uses nonprinting ruler guidelines to help you align and position objects.
15. If you hold down the Alt key and press the left mouse button, the pointer becomes a
grabber which will move the page on the desktop.

14.8 Displaying Guides

Guides are used to help visualize non-printing areas, align text, and align images and other
graphic elements on the page and to each other. Let us see how they work in PageMaker.
z To select an object and not the guide that overlaps it hold down Command (Mac) or Ctrl
(Windows) while selecting the object.
z To avoid grabbing the guides instead of other objects on the page go to View > Send
Guides to Back. Do this without a publication open and all new publications will have this
Option already set.
