Hi Walt
I have gone through my watch history, and can't find what I thought I saw, so possibly I made a mistake. I am also a former user of a much older version of CorelDraw, in which I could do type guides directly.
Over the past week, I looked a numerous vid's of different options, so I surmise that I must of misunderstood what app i was looking at.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer, and I will use your technique. I hadn't thought of using the add line that way because it defaulted to 50%, 25% etc. and it didn't occur to me to edit it from there. I was dragging from the ruler, close to the final position and then editing.
Thanks for your help
