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).
• To move a guide, drag it.
• To remove a guide, drag and drop it anywhere outside the page area.
• For precise ruler guide placement, check Ruler marks in
Tools>Options>Layout to snap guides to ruler marks.
• To unstick a selected object, click one of two small red triangular
markers shown at the point where the object is attached to the guide.
You'll see a link cursor ( ) as you hover over the sticky guide
marker.
