Save Your Guide Setup for Future Use

CATEGORIES: Design Tip of the Day, InDesign | Jeff Witchel | October 05, 2006

You’ve just spent some time setting up Ruler Guides on a Page to help you position objects perfectly. You know that you will need to use this arrangement of guides again, not only on other pages in this same document, but in other layouts as well. Is there a way to save the arrangement of guides on a page to use again and again?

Sure! Select the Guides (making sure not to Select other objects) and go to File > Export > InDesign Snippet. This great new feature will save your guide arrangement or any other objects to be easily Placed (File > Place) positioned perfectly on any other page in any document of the same size.
