- Show the rulers and the Info panel. The Body Copy text is
looking better, but its placement is for the birds. Before we size
and position the text block, it helps to lay down a few guide-
lines. And before we can do that, we have to do the following:- Guidelines come from the rulers, so choose View→Rulers
or press Ctrl+R (�-R) to display them. - To track the coordinate position of your guides, press F8 or
choose Window→Info to display the Info panel.
- Guidelines come from the rulers, so choose View→Rulers
- Add three guidelines. Drag from the left ruler to create ver-
tical guides, and drag from the top ruler to create horizontal
guides. As you do, you can track the location of the guidelines
by watching the X and Y values in the Info panel. With that in
mind, create the following guides:
- Drag a vertical guide to the coordinate position X: 80.
- Next, drag another vertical guide very close to the right
edge of the document, to the coordinate position X: 860. - Finally, drag a horizontal guide to Y: 30.
