To position guides numerically After you place a guide line in a document, you can set its position numerically. 1 Double-click an alignment guide. 2 A dialog box appears. •   Select Horizontal or Vertical to set the guide’s orientation. •   In the text box, enter the distance to place the guide from the ruler’s zero point. Positive values go down and to the right from the zero point. Negative values go up and to the left. 3 Click OK. When you enter a value for the position of a guide, you can use the current measurement units, or enter a unit abbreviation. For example, to place a vertical guide 3 inches to the right of the zero point, type “3in” (without quotes) if the current units are not inches. To set a hor- izontal guide 2 picas above the zero point, type “-2p”.
