Brian Davies Quick Margins

August 31, 2009

I’m a big fan of using guidelines in CorelDRAW. When I’m laying out a flyer or brochure or something like that, one of the first things I’ll do is add guidelines around the edge of the page so that I have some visible margins. Of course I can also snap things to those margins. That’s why I really like today’s macro, Brian Davies Quick Margins, because it creates guidelines for margins automatically. Just type in the size of the margin you want and push a button. Want to get rid of them? One click will do that too. Best of all, it is a freebie!
