Publisher Developer Reference

Represents the measurement grid that appears superimposed on publication pages as an aid to laying out design elements.

Example

Use the LayoutGuides property of the Document object to return a LayoutGuides object. Use the LayoutGuide object's margin properties and Rows and Columns properties to set how many rows and columns are displayed in the layout guides and where they appear on a page.

This example sets the margins of the active presentation to two inches.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With ActiveDocument.LayoutGuides
    .MarginTop = Application.InchesToPoints(Value:=2)
    .MarginBottom = Application.InchesToPoints(Value:=2)
    .MarginLeft = Application.InchesToPoints(Value:=2)
    .MarginRight = Application.InchesToPoints(Value:=2)
End With
