Guidelines

CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT

Guidelines are lines that can be placed
anywhere in the document window to aid in
object placement and alignment.

In CorelDRAW, you can add guidelines to
individual pages, or you can add guidelines to
the master page if you want to apply them to
the entire document. After you add a
guideline, you can select it, move it, rotate it,
lock it in place, or delete it.
