Centering ( may be a silly question)

[ScooterD76]

When I am dragging an object on the page and I hit center, I get a magenta guideline, but sometimes it is green... what is the difference in meaning?

The green ones are "Smart Guides." Here's a writeup about them: Create and work with ruler guides in InDesign

The magenta line means that you're aligning to the horizontal or vertical center of the page. The green line helps you align to other things (objects) on the page.

I hope this helps!

I suspected it was something like that, just didnt know which was which...

This means that there's something that's slightly off-center on my page.

Thanks for the info and the link!
