RulerGuides object (Publisher)

A collection of RulerGuide objects that represents a gridline used to align objects on a page.

Remarks

Use the Add method to add ruler gridlines to the RulerGuides collection.

Use the Count property to return the total number of ruler guides, horizontal and vertical, in the collection.

Example

This example creates horizontal ruler guides and vertical ruler guides every half inch on the first page of the active publication.

Sub SetRulerGuides() 
 Dim intCount As Integer 
 Dim intPos As Integer 
 With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).RulerGuides 
 For intCount = 1 To 16 
 intPos = intPos + 36 
 .Add Position:=intPos, Type:=pbRulerGuideTypeVertical 
 Next intCount 
 intPos = 0 
 For intCount = 1 To 21 
 intPos = intPos + 36 
 .Add Position:=intPos, Type:=pbRulerGuideTypeHorizontal 
 Next intCount 
 End With 
End Sub

The following example uses the Count property to create a loop that deletes each of the ruler guides in the collection.

Sub RemoveAllGuides() 
 Dim intCount As Integer 
 With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).RulerGuides 
 For intCount = 1 To .Count 
 .Item(1).Delete 
 Next intCount 
 End With 
End Sub
