You can snap an object's left side, right side, or vertical midline (the invisible
line that bisects an object vertically) to a vertical guideline.
To snap objects to a guideline
1. Insert a guideline by clicking one of the rulers.
2. Drag the report object onto the guideline, so that one of the object's edges
is on the guideline.
The snap property of guidelines works differently for text-based objects than
for other objects, such as OLE objects. When a single-line text-based object
snaps to a guideline, it is the baseline of the text, not the object frame, that
snaps to the guideline. When a multi-line text-based object snaps to a
guideline, either the baseline of the text or the object frame can be snapped
to the guideline.
You can tell if a text-based object is snapped to a horizontal guideline by
looking for the special indicators positioned on either side of the object directly
at the baseline (as circled in the image below) in Design view. If the object
is snapped to a vertical guideline, the special indicators appear along the
side of the object.
