    FrameMaker doesn't have Ruler Guides that you can drag out like InDesign does.

    You can also draw a rectangle outside of any text frame (not with the graphics tool, just with the mouse, as if you would want to select something).

    FrameMaker always shows the dimensions in the lower left corner of the FrameMaker window. I use this sometimes to check, if a paragraph might fit on the previous page.

    Hi,

    There are grid lines with snap which you can activate and configure:

    View | Options

    View | Grid Lines

    And you can draw regular lines and move them where you need them. Of course without snap. And they would get printed, if you do not delete them.

    Best regards, Winfried
