preferences. You can also make alignment guides appear only when object edges are

objects:

1 Choose Pages > Preferences, and click General.

2 To turn off size and position tags, deselect “Editing: Show size and position when

moving objects.”

3 To turn off the guides that appear when an object’s center aligns with another object

or the center of the page, deselect “Alignment Guides: Show guides at object center.”

4 To turn on the alignment guides that appear when an object’s edges align with

another object or the center of the page, select “Alignment Guides: Show guides at

object edges.”

To change the color of alignment guides:

m In Pages preferences, click General, click the Alignment Guides color well, and select a

color in the Colors window.

m Select the graphic and choose Arrange > Lock.

information from readers.
