QUICKTIP
Smart Guides allow you to easily snap objects to other items in your layout,
such as aligning edges or the center of the page. When you move or create
an object, you will see the smart guides dynamically appear until you have
snapped that object into place. By default, the Smart Guides feature is
enabled. To turn Smart Guides on or off, Choose View, Grids & Guides,
Smart Guides. You can also change the appearance of the Smart Guides
through Preferences, Guides and Pasteboard.

• The Transform panel identifies a selected
object’s width and height, and its horizontal and
vertical locations on the page.
• You can select an object and change its size
and location by changing values on the panel.

• InDesign defines the position of an object using
X and Y location values on the Transform panel.
• The zero point of the page is, by default, at the
top-left corner of the page.
• X and Y locations are made in reference to that
zero point.
© 2010 Delmar Cengage Learning
Create a New Document
• When an object is selected, the X Location value
is the horizontal location—how far it is across
the page—and the Y Location value is the
vertical location—how far it is down the page.

You can perform calculations in the text boxes
on the Transform panel. For example, you could
select an object whose width is three inches. By
typing 3 - .625 in the W text box, you can reduce
the object’s width to 2.375 inches.
