the rulers.

20. Click the View menu and make sure a check mark appears to the left of Lock
Guides. If no check mark is there, choose Lock Guides to toggle on that option.

After you carefully position specific guides, it’s a good idea to lock them so you don’t
accidentally move or delete them later. If you need to move a guide at any point,
simply choose View>Lock Guides to toggle off the option temporarily.

The outside
guides mark the
trim edge.
The inside
guides mark the
live area.

The option should
be checked.

21. Save the file and continue to the next exercise.

Because you have already saved this working file with a new name, you can simply
choose File>Save, or press Command/Control-S to save without opening a dialog box.
If you want to change the file name, you can always choose File>Save As.
