8.3.2 Grid and Ruler

The grid is a network of lines that helps you align objects on the page. As you position an
object, the program will pull it into alignment with the nearest intersection of gridlines. By
default, gridlines are displayed as little black dots on the page.
The ruler, when turned on, will appear at the top and outer edges of the album pages.
Like grid, the ruler can be used to help you align objects on the page.
