   Selection handles will appear around the object.

   

3. Position the mouse pointer over the object until you see the Move pointer .
4. Drag the object until its edge snaps to the guide, object, or ruler mark that you want the object to align with.

Notes

• If the guides are hidden, objects will still snap to the guides.

• If you have turned on all of the Snap options, Microsoft Publisher tries to snap objects first to a nearby guide. If there's no guide nearby, Publisher snaps to the nearest object. If there are no objects nearby, Publisher snaps to the closest ruler mark.
