Guides and margins
In Publisher there are two kinds of guides: user definable guides and column guides. In this tutorial you will be dealing with column guides. User definable guides are covered in Tutorial Four - Editing a programme.
Column guides are represented by grey dotted rectangles with an equal amount of space between each column. They appear on each page, but are not printed.
The column guides cannot be resized or repositioned directly using the mouse; you can change the number of columns and the space between them using the Margins & Columns tab on the Page dialog box.
Margins are used to give the page an imaginary white frame, balancing the features on the page and making them stand out.
From the Page menu, select Margins & Column Guides. The Page dialog box appears with the Margins & Columns tab selected.
In the Column Guides group box, type 2 in the Number of Columns spin box.
In the Columns Gap spin box, type 0.64.
Click on OK. The column guides change on the page and your document should now look like the picture below:
