Freeway Reference: Working with Pages

Hiding and displaying guides and grids

You might find it useful to hide the guides and grid lines while you’re working on a document.

To do this, choose Guides from the View menu.

The non-publishing guides are then hidden from view throughout the document. However,

guides and grid lines are still magnetic, even when they are hidden.

To display guides and grids again, choose Guides from the View menu once more.

Displaying guides and grids above

or below other elements

You can display guides and grid lines above or below the other elements on a page.

To change the display position of the ruler guides, choose Guides Above from the View menu.

Locking guides on the page

To lock guides on the page to prevent accidentally moving them as you work, select Lock

Guides in the View menu. All horizontal and vertical ruler guides will be locked throughout the

Freeway document.

To unlock all guides again, deselect Lock Guides in the View menu.

Freeway uses different colors (that can be set in the Preferences dialog) to distinguish between

locked and unlocked guides. Guides that are set on a master page are always locked on site pages.

Margins and grids

FW Pro only

To help you position items and rulers consistently, you can set up horizontal and vertical grids of

regularly spaced guides.

When applying grids, you can specify a start and end point as an offset from either

the margins or from the edge of the page.

Setting margins

FW Pro only

You can define margins for pages in your document using the Margins and Grids

dialog. This can help you position items consistently between pages. Margins can be

set on any page or on a master page. To set up margins:

1. Choose Margins and Grids… from the Page menu.

2. Enter the values you desire for the top, left, right and bottom margins, and click

OK. Setting any value to “0px” removes that margin.

Setting horizontal and vertical grids

To apply a horizontal or vertical grid:

1. Choose Margins and Grids… from the Page menu.

2. Turn on the type of grid(s) you want to apply (Vertical and/or Horizontal)

using the relevant checkboxes.

3. Specify the width of the grids in the appropriate fields.

4. Select From Top Margin and/or From Left Margin if you want your grids to be defined relative to the page margins.

5. Click OK if you’re happy with the settings. The grids you specify are placed over the page.

Note: If the new grid doesn’t appear, check that Freeway is set to show

grids. Use the

Guides command on the View menu to toggle the display of

the grid.

Removing grids and margins

To remove existing grids and margins:

1. Choose Margins and Grids… from the Page menu.

2. Click the Clear Settings button.

3. Click OK.

To restore the margins and grids to those defined on the master page, click on the Use Master Settings button.

The Margins and Grids dialog automatically updates the current page as you make changes. If you click the Cancel button any changes

to the margins or grids that have been made whilst the dialog is open will be discarded.
