Drawing guides are a pair of dotted guidelines, one vertical and one horizontal, that intersect at the center of the slide. When drawing guides are on, objects will snap to these lines when dragged within a threshold of a few pixels.
Drawing guides can help you position shapes and objects on slides. Drawing guides can be shown or hidden, and you can add or delete them. When you drag a guide, the distance to the center of the slide is shown next to the pointer. Drawing guides are not visible during a slide show and do not print in a presentation.

To do this you will need to add multiple guides. To display guides in PowerPoint, right click on a slide, select Grid and Guides and check Display drawing guides on screen. This will bring up one vertical and one horizontal guide.
The great thing about setting up your own guides in PowerPoint is that you can ensure consistency across multiple presentations. By creating a grid that clearly defines space for logos, disclaimers, page numbers, main content and whatever else you need, your slides will look well-balanced and consistent.
Hi there, this query is about Powerpoint in general, not your wonderful add-in. Is it possible to somehow select ALL guides at once? The default colour is too dark for my liking, so I prefer to change them to a lighter grey. Trouble is, as far as I can tell, they have to be right-clicked on individually and then changed, which is a veritable pain in the pipe, especially if you have many columns!
By drawing guides on your slides, you can position shapes and objects very easily. Guides can be visible or hidden at any time and you can add guides or delete them. Also, guides can be moved to any desired position, vertically or horizontally. If the PowerPoint Ruler is enabled, you can measure the distance between the center of each slide to the guides. It is important to notice that the guides are not visible at all during the slide show or when you print a presentation.
While the snap to grid, guides and dynamic guide features are very useful. The lack of a gridline is notorious for some designers. Based on this hack, you can create a fake gridline in PowerPoint by inserting a table and resizing it to the corner of the slide.
PowerPoint 2016 was recently introduced in the market as a Preview release available for Mac users. The UI is pretty close to the flat version featured in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows and most of the features available in the Windows version seems are now available for Mac users as well. In this article, we will show you how to enable the guides & ruler in PowerPoint. These tools offer you a better control to align objects accurately over the slide.
While the ruler let you measure distances between objects on the screen, guides are a very powerful tool that helps to align objects within the slide either vertically or horizontally, plus you can configure the snap to grid or shape properties to add a better control of these objects on the screen. You can configure vertical and horizontal guides (by default there is one of each type but you can add as many guides you want).
What is the difference between Static & Dynamic guides? While Static Guides are the guides that you configure in the slide manually to any specific position, Dynamic Guides appear on the screen while you drag or align objects. These guides are very useful if you need to align objects by dragging them in the slide.
If you already have slides you just want to edit, then another idea would be to create a slide that has the guides. Then go to a slide and select all. Cut. Go to the slide with the guides. Paste. Arrange using the guides. Cut and paste back. It isn't as much work as it sounds.
Actually, you can use a variation on that too. Create a slide with just the guides. Duplicate it. Cut and paste the elements from an existing slide to that duplicate with the guides. Then delete the now-empty slide. Repeat each time you need to use the guides.
Thanks Gary. I fiddled around a bit and finally found what I was looking for. There are regular guides and master guides. I was using regular guides which are attached to the slide they are created on. What I need to do is add guides to master slides. These become master guides and will be part of all slides based on this particular master slide. But they don't show up until you turn on the master guides visibility in the View menu!
Guides are useful for aligning the elements in your poster. Guides are lines that appear on the screen but do not print. To add guides, first make sure the rulers are visible (View menu > Show Rulers). Then click in a ruler and drag to where you want to place the guide.

This article will explain the process of setting up margins using guides in PowerPoint in complete detail in addition to answering a few important margin-related questions (including margins for printing).
The cool part is that PowerPoint allows you to auto-snap shapes and other elements to align with the guides. This means, when you bring a shape closers to one of the guides, it automatically sticks to the guide and perfectly aligns with other objects!
However, it is important to note that upon changing the guides, the content will NOT adjust accordingly automatically as there are no margin options provided by default in PowerPoint. 2ff7e9595c
