How do you center/align types accurately?

| Hi
Can anyone tell me how to accuratelly align types?
I am practicing making web site headers in CS and it's going real well
but when my type layers are created I use my eye and the move tool to
center them where I need them, it is not accurate.
A google search result said to use "VIEW-->SHOW-->GUIDES" but it is
grayed out for me, prior to create the type layer, while typing the
text and once done, it is always grayed out.
Thanks a lot
Patrick

Have you created any guides? You can not show guides if there are no
guides to show.

Hi Patrick,
I do not know if CS has Smart Guides but if it does then they can be
very helpful for aligning text to objects. They are disabled if Grid
is turned on so you will need to turn that off to use them.
Good luck,
Ron

| Hi
Thanks to all for the answers.Tacit's answer helped me the most in my
case. I was looking at VIEW-->SHOW-->GUIDES which was grayed out and I
should have done VIEW-->NEW GUIDE instead.
Thanks again guys
Patrick
