Missing Guide Line
It seems as if I have 'misplaced' my Horizontal guile line. The Vertical one is working just fine. I have tried CTRL and dragging from either the top or bottom of the work screen however no luck anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Welcome to the community.
I just did a quick test, and I THINK I may have a solution. Here's how it worked.
- I was viewing a slide at a zoom of about 70 or 80% (the zoom percentage is displayed in the bottom right of the screen.
- I moved the horizontal guide totally off the screen by dragging down (oot-oh).
hmmm.
- Then I zoomed out to 50%...and there it was...offstage, below the slide.
- Dragged it back up and all's well.
Let us know if that works or shout out if you need more help.

Thanks for the suggestion, however no such luck even at the 10% view size no horizontal guile lines.

Hey John,
hmmm. that IS odd. I've now dragged both my H and V all the way off the screen and zoomed all the way out. At that point, I can see both guides and I canNOT drag them off any further. Here's a screen shot. Note that I collapsed the timeline also:
The other thing: guides are specific to a story file. So, if you start a fresh file and import your story into that you should be good to go. Shout out again with how this goes for you!

Yes, those are good tips Bruce. Do it with PPT all the timeline. I'm thinking a Screenr on guides may be in order! Waiting to hear how John makes out...and for free time!

Hello! I seemed to have completely deleted my vertical guide line. I zoomed all the way out to 10% and I still can't locate it. I have saved my project and closed SL 360 and still can't get it to come back. Any ideas?
Hi there, Angie! Let's get guides back on your slides! 😊 If you enable the ruler using the view tab, you can double click on the ruler where you want your guide to appear, and you'll get a new one.
When you drag a guide off the slide, it will disappear. Let me know if creating a new one will work for you!

Thank you Crystal! I had the same issue and your answer solved my problem!

I lost my vertical guide. If you right click on the slide it should give you the option to add one back.
