    Default Guides Won't Stay

    How do I get my guides to stay on the canvas in Freehand? I do have the
    rulers set on the page, but when I drag the guide lines over and release my
    mouse, they quickly disappear. In Fireworks this works beautifully. Any
    ideas?

    Justin,

    Make sure that when you drop a guide on the page that your cursor is over the page and not off the edge of the page.

    Greetings J.
    I did ensure that I'm on the page when I release my mouse. But it simply
    disappears after I release the button off the mouse. I can definitely see it
    when I drag it.

    John, I just figured it out. In my layers panel, the guides were below my
    foreground. Sorry about that. I've never used Freehand before. Just a
    newbie. Thanks for your help.
