Persistent Ruler Guide Lines

[MrCourtney]

One can pull a guide line down from the upper ruler and also from the left rule. This is helpful in aligning a text box or element to a specific place.

But when moving to the next page these lines are gone. Many layouts require a specific location from page to page and it would be helpful if these guidelines are persistent page-to-page until changed.

Hope that made sense.

If you add a guide to a master page it appears on all pages that use that master page

Yup, shows as a dashed line. While that is helpful, let's say 30% of the pages have specific element. Maybe a logo for example. If the lines were persistent I could scroll through the document and position those.

I realize I could set the master guides and do the same thing. That's workable.

Appreciate the reminder they exist.

You can also have multiple Master Pages applied to a single document page. So if you have Guides that are needed on some pages but not others, you can create a new Master Page, put the Guides on it, and apply that Master to the pages that need those Guides. Then only the pages that need them will show them.
