    Default How to delete or move a guide on the screen

    OK. I give up. I put two guides on a Lectora screen and now all I can is show hide them. I can't move them or delete them. All I can do is add more guides. I've tried left-clicking, right-clicking, click-and-drag, etc., and nothing seems to work. They are driving me crazy! Can someone please, please, please tell me how to edit guides once they are on the screen? Please don't let me become a statistic of death by Lectora guides. :-)

    Default Hold down the Ctrl key and then click and drag the line

    It was driving so crazy I had to keep trying. Finally, after holding down the alt, ctrl, shift, all the function keys, and finally the ctrl key again, the Ctrl key did it. While holding down the Ctrl key and then hovering the mouse pointer over a guide, the cursor changes and then you (I) can click-and-drag the guide to a new position. And to delete a guide, drag it out of the page work area. Gee, that was intuitive.....not! :-)

    You could always open Help and search for "guides" and you will find this:

    Click within a ruler and drag the guide onto the page. The guides can be removed from a page by dragging each off the page while holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
