Layout Guides

Layout guides help you align objects, such as pictures, text boxes, and tables. Layout guides give you visible guidance for aligning objects on the page. Layout guides include margin, column, row, and baseline guides.

Margin Guides

Margin guides are the visual guide to show you where your page margins lie on the page. You set margin guides by setting the page margins. You enable the margin guides on the View menu in Publisher 2003 and 2007, and on the View tab in Publisher 2010.

Column and Row Guides

Column and row guides help you keep your page aligned.

Baseline Guides

Baseline guides look just like the old ruled notebook paper. You enable the baseline guides on the View menu in Publisher 2003 and 2007, and on the View tab in Publisher 2010.

Ruler Guides

You set ruler guides aligned to horizontal or vertical ruler settings.
