Guides

Guides are lines that can be placed in your document and help you to line up your text and images with each other. 

A blank InDesign document showing
a vertical and a horizontal guide


To set a guide click over any spot of the rulers and drag your mouse pointer over the workspace. The guide will be placed when you release the mouse button.

Move your mouse pointer to the ruler,
and click and drag to create a new guide

Horizontal guides can be made from the ruler at the top of the page. Vertical guides can be made from the ruler on the left of the page.

Guides won't print in your final document. They only appear in the InDesign document.
