Ruler Guides Always On Top?
I'm creating some business cards in Publisher 2007. I created a .png
background image that is the exact same size as the business card, and inserted it. When I try to create ruler guides for the bleed area, they disapear as soon as I let go of the mouse button after I drag them over. Is there a way to set the ruler guides to always stay on top of all images? Or is there perhaps another solution to my problem? Thanks |

The guides always go under everything. It will be the same in 2010.

Draw lines - delete them when you are finished with them.

If the poster is using a business card template, there is no point in bleed
lines. If the poster is setting up the business cards as shown in Publisher 2003 (four per page), Publisher will print crop marks as seen in print preview. The only way the poster would need bleed is if he/she manually creates a business card, even then if the .png is exactly the size of the card why go through the hassle? -- Mary Sauer MVP http://msauer.mvps.org/ "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...

What I did was created a background .png image in Gimp, that was the size of
a business card with bleed area. I then used a blank custom template with bleed area, in Publisher, and inserted my image. I'm going to save it as a .pdf, as all my local print shops tell me that's the file type they prefer. I'm using a bleed area because in all of my research, everyone says to make sure there is a bleed area if you have graphics near the edges, which I do. I haven't seen any crop marks in my print previews. Is this something I need to enable/set up? "Mary Sauer" wrote: If the poster is using a business card template, there is no point in bleed lines.

It's not an elegant workaround but sometimes ya gotta do whatever works.
