Definition:
Non-printing horizontal and vertical ruler guides are used to align objects on the page. Typically ruler guides are placed on the page by dragging them from the horizontal and vertical rulers surrounding the publication or by specifying precise positions using a dialog box. Ruler guides can also be used on the pasteboard to align objects before moving them onto the page.
