Use Guides in QuarkXPress

Try all of these Options for using guides

Guides are used to help visualize non-printing areas, align text, and align images and other graphic elements on the page and to each other. Try these tips on how to make this process a little simpler or modify how guides work in QuarkXPress. The instructions on this page for setting up guides refer to the basic QuarkXPress program and not to any of the many XTensions which supply additional functionality, including increased options for guides.

• Go to View > Snap to Guides (Shift+F7) to make objects snap to the nearest guide.

• Go to Edit > Preferences > Preferences > General pane to change the Snap Distance. A smaller value than the default of 6 pixels will allow you to make small adjustments to objects near the guide without having them snap to the guide.
