To insert, move, and remove guidelines manually
1. In the Design or Preview tab, click the ruler at the top to activate a vertical
guideline; click the ruler on the left to activate a horizontal guideline.
Notice that each guideline is attached to an arrowhead on its originating
ruler.
Note:
If guidelines don't appear, ensure that the appropriate Guideline option
is selected on the View menu. On the Preview tab, you must select an
object to see a guideline.
2. To position a guideline, drag its arrowhead along the ruler to the desired
location.
3. To delete a guideline, drag its arrowhead away from the ruler.
Note:
If you select the Snap To Grid option, you can only insert or move guidelines
in grid increments.
Snapping objects to guidelines
To snap an object to a guideline, drag the report object onto the guideline
until the object's edge sits atop the guideline. Snapping enables you not only
to align report objects accurately, but also to re-position and re-size multiple
objects together. Once several objects are snapped to a guideline, you can
move all the objects by moving the guideline.
You can snap either the top or the bottom of an object to a horizontal
guideline.
