Display nonprinting guidelines in Word
I quite often use Word to create multi-page documents with a lot of scanned sections. I often want the scanned sections to appear in the same place on every page. Ideally I would like to be able to create and position guide lines to show me where on the page to put the scanned images, but I don't want these guide lines to print. This is possible in many graphics programs just by dragging the horizontal and vertical rulers, but Word doesn't seem to have this capability. I can do it by creating a header that displays on every page with the guide lines, and after dong all the positioning, deleting the lines, but this is tedious and time consuming. How do I best do this in Word? Or if it's not possible, please can it go on the wish list for a future version?
Thank you - Rowan |

This is a user-to-user support forum not associated with Microsoft. You want to express wishes to them directly.
Giving Feedback on Microsoft Word or other Microsoft Products Word is not intended o be a design or page layout program, it is a word processor, which is different. Look at InDesign or Publisher which may better meet your needs. |

You can display document gridlines in Word. Use the "Gridlines" option on the View tab. See the attached screen shot.
You can customize the grid via Page Layout tab > Arrange group > Align > Grid Settings. That said, you won't have access to the same type of placement options as the ones that are found in page layout programs.
