How to center object between two guides (or one guide and edge of artboard)

[ChrisL-WA]

Simple question: how can I center an object between two guides or between a guide and the edge of the artboard?

Chris,

You may (Smart Guides are your friends):

1) Create a rectangle between the two Guides or between the Guide and the Artboard edge, by ClickDragging with the Rectangle Tool from (the desired spot) on one to (the desired spot) on the other (Smart Guides say path/path or path/page when you are there);

2) Select both the rectangle from 1) and the object, then Click the rectangle again, then use the relevant options in the Align palette.

That should move your object to the centre in the direction(s) you choose.
