While basic ruler guides (grid) on a master are created automatically when you create a master, you can add additional guides on a master.

1.On the Pages main tab in Fred4, open the appropriate master page for editing before proceeding.

2.If the page guides are not displayed, on the View menu, click Column Guides and Module Guides/Baseline Grid.

3.On the Layout menu, ensure that Lock local guides is not ticked.

4.Click the vertical guide icon fred_vguideico or the horizontal guide icon fred_hguideico in the Toolbox.

5.Move the pointer over the page. A thin black rule will follow the pointer.

6.Click to drop the guide on the page.

Notes

Do not attempt to place a guide on the pasteboard - it won't work. Keep guides within page zone.

You cannot select the color for the additional guides on a master - they are displayed in the same color as the main guides set.
