To show or hide ruler guides
Ruler guides are different from grids in that they can be positioned freely on a page or on a pasteboard. InDesign
users can create two kinds of ruler guides: page guides, which appear only on the page on which they create them, or
spread guides, which span all pages and the pasteboard of a multiple-page spread. You can view ruler guides if they
exist in the InDesign document or assignment file, but you cannot create them in InCopy.

To display ruler guides behind objects
By default, ruler guides appear in front of all other guides and objects. However, some ruler guides may block your
view of objects, such as lines with narrow stroke widths.
You can change the Guides in Back preference to display ruler guides in front of or behind all other objects. However,
regardless of the Guides in Back setting, objects and ruler guides are always in front of margin and column guides.
