Marcus thought he’d cracked the code. First, he learned to enable guides. Then, he discovered the right-click menu, and now is adding, coloring, and deleting guides like a pro. Then a colleague mentioned something called guide hierarchy, and Marcus froze. Hierarchy? He thought guides were just… lines. Marcus was happy to learn more. Turns out, guides in PowerPoint have layers, a bit like a family tree. There are guides that belong to the whole family (the Slide Master), guides that belong to individual branches (Slide Layouts), and guides that belong to just one person (your actual slides).
