Expert: Sharon Pettis Date: 9/5/2004 Subject: PageMaker 6.5: color for guides and margins
Question I am using PageMaker 6.5 on Windows 98. I used to have colors of the guides and margins in blue and pink. Then one day they all changed to black. (I still don't know why to this day.)
My question is: How do I change colors of the column guides and margins back to the original blue and pink color?
(I've tried to uninstall and re-install PageMaker6.5, but the color of the guides and margins is still black.)
Your help is really appreciated.
Answer Go to File>Preferences>General (?)
You will have a section for margin colors and can change them there. IF you change it with no document open, it will be your new default.
Also if you hit control and ; together, it will turn your margins back on, which it sounds like you may have inadvertantly turned them off.
