Tip
If you Command-drag (Mac OS) or Ctrl-drag (Windows) from the ruler
intersect, you create a horizontal and vertical guide that intersects where
you release the mouse button and then release the Ctrl or Command key.
Next, you'll add a guide using a different method that can sometimes be faster.
9.
Select the Zoom tool ( ) and click several times, slowly, on the lower-left corner
of the artboard until you see 1/4-inch measurements on the ruler. We had to click at
least four times.
10.
Shift-double-click the vertical ruler at the 1/4-inch mark (the ruler to the left of the
artboard),
above
the 0 on the ruler. This creates a guide that crosses the bottom
edge of the artboard at -0.25 in from the bottom.
11.
Position the pointer in the upper-left corner of the Document window, where the
rulers intersect ( ), and double-click to reset the ruler origin.
12.
Choose View > Guides > Lock Guides to prevent them from being accidentally
moved.
The guides are no longer selected and are aqua in color by default.
