Tip
Guides can also be added to a spread in a facing-page document by using
the Create Guides command (Layout menu) when working on a document
page rather than a master page.
Selecting Margins instead of Page causes the guides to fit within the margin
boundaries rather than the page boundaries. You don't need to add column guides
because they are already displayed in your document based on the settings in the
document preset.

Dragging guides from rulers
You can drag guides from the horizontal (top) and vertical (left side) rulers at the edge
of the document window to provide additional alignment assistance on individual pages.
Pressing Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while dragging a guide applies the guide
to the entire spread. Pressing Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while dragging a guide
from the horizontal ruler changes it to a vertical guide and changes a vertical guide to a
horizontal guide when dragging a guide from the vertical ruler.
In this lesson, you will place headers above the top margin of the page and footers below
the bottom margin in areas where there are no column guides. To position the headers and
footers accurately, you will manually add two horizontal guides and two vertical guides.
Tip
You can also drag a ruler guide without the Ctrl or Command key and re-
lease the guide over the pasteboard to have a guide appear across all pages
in a spread as well as on the pasteboard.

If it's not already selected, double-click the name A-Master in the Pages panel. If
the A-Master spread is not visible in the top section of the Pages panel, you may
need to scroll within the top section of the panel to view it. If you want, you can
drag the horizontal divider bar between the master page icons and document page
icons downward to view the master page icons without having to scroll.
