Resize the Black Rectangle With Row and Column Guides

The black rectangle you created is still locked. To resize it, you need to unlock it first.

  1. Click the black rectangle with the object pointer. The rectangle's handles appear, indicating that it's selected.

  2. Choose Unlock from the Object menu. The rectangle is unlocked so you can change its size and position.

  3. Carefully position the pointer on the handle at the top left corner of the rectangle and drag it to within 1 pica of the intersection of the guides you created. The top and left edges of the rectangle snap to the guides, and the whole rectangle becomes taller and wider. The rectangle is in its final position, so you can lock it.

  4. Choose Lock from the Object menu. You won't be working with guides in the rest of this tutorial, so you can switch back to the grid.

  5. Choose Grid from the Page menu. The guides are replaced by the grid on the page.

Now you know a third way to position an object on a page in Sahafi.
