To show column guides:  Choose Layout > Display > Show Guides when column guides are not displayed. To hide column guides, choose Layout > Display > Hide Guides when column guides are displayed. Creating sections You can create sections with the Section tool or the Column Guides command. •   The Section tool lets you place multiple sections at specified locations on one or more pages. You can also use the tool to modify sections. •   The Column Guides command lets you place sections on pages that don’t contain sections. If the current page has sec- tions, the Column Guides command lets you change the set- tings for any section on the page. Whether you are creating or modifying sections with the Section tool or the Column Guides command, the Column Guides dialog box is the control center for configuring sections. When you create a section, the section’s column guides appear on a guide layer in the document. By default, guide layers are non-printing and have a bright blue override color. You can use the Document Layout palette to change the override color or make a guide layer printable. When you add text to a section, Canvas creates a text object in each column in the section. The text objects are placed on the current layer. To create sections with the Column Guides command 1 Go to the page where you want to place a new section and choose Layout > Column Guides. 2 In the Column Guides dialog box, you can select a preset col- umn arrangement or set up custom columns. In the Apply To menu, choose where to place the new section. See “Column Guides set- tings” on page 26.502. 3 Click OK to create a new section with the current settings. If the document contains no sections, Canvas creates one or more new sections, according to the Apply To setting.
