[h=3]Viewing Tools
Publisher offers a group of
viewing tools to help you control the layout of your text, images and
objects on the page. These viewing tools are for your editing purposes only. They can be turned on and off and
will not appear in your printed publication.
To access and choose viewing tools, select the
View tab and locate the
Show group. Click the checkboxes of the various view options to turn them on and off.
The publication viewing tools include:
Rulers
You can use the rulers to the left and top of your publication to help you line up text, images, and other objects and get a
clearer idea of exactly where those objects will appear on the printed page. When you select an object in your
publication, a white space will appear on the rulers to show the object's location.
Baselines
Baselines are evenly-spaced horizontal lines that you can use to line up
text. You'll learn about automatically aligning text to your baselines in the
Working with Text lesson.
Boundaries
Boundaries are dark blue dashed borders that appear around your
objects. Viewing object boundaries can be useful when you are aligning objects or wrapping text.
Guides
Guides are thin lines that help you align various objects. There are two types of guides:
Margin guides, which are blue lines that mark the edges, or margins, of the
printable area on
each page of your publication. Margin guides are automatically created when you set your page margins.
Customizable guides, which are green lines that you can add anywhere on your publication.
