To position and resize objects by guidelines

1. "Snatching" the object
   First, select the object you want to  resize or move by the guideline.   Move or resize this object until it's border touches a guideline.  This should enable the guideline to "snatch" the object.  You will know you have successfully done this if the guideline and border intersection are red.  The same object can have another guideline as well as on its opposite border.
   
   
2. Moving and positioning objects
   Once the object is snatched by one guideline, you can drag the Guideline Handle icon to move your object.
   
   
3. Resizing objects
   If an object is "snatched" by two vertical or horizontal guidelines, you can resize the object by moving one of the guidelines.
