Dragging a column guide to create unequal column widths
To create columns with unequal gutters, create evenly spaced ruler guides and then
drag individual guides to the desired location. (See
page 39.)
Using rulers, grids, and guides
In addition to the margin and column guides that define each page, you can build a
framework of grids and guides that help you position and align objects precisely. Grids and
guides can be visible or hidden on screen and in print. For information on printing guides
and grids, see "Printing grids, guides, and other nonprinting objects" on page
One set of rulers and grids exists per page, but a guide can exist across all pages of a
spread or within a single page only. Rulers are dimmed on all spreads except the target
spread, to identify the target spread when several spreads are visible in the document
window.
To show or hide rulers:
Choose View > Show Rulers or Hide Rulers.
About measurement units and rulers
You can work with several standard measurement units. Changing the measurement units
doesn't move guides, grids, and objects, so when ruler tick marks change, they might not
line up with objects aligned to the old tick marks.
