Working with Extras

Guides, grid, target paths, selection edges, slices,
image maps, text bounds, text baselines, text selec-
tions, and annotations are nonprinting Extras that
help you select, move, or edit images and objects.
You can turn on or off an Extra or any combi-
nation of Extras without affecting the image.
You can also show or hide Extras by choosing
the Show Extras command in the View menu.
