Blue and pink guide line query

[SueG]

In Publisher 2002/XP I know that the pink dotted lines on a page are the
margins but please can somebody explain what the blue dotted lines just
inside are? Thanks

The purple lines are margin guides - they bear no relation to your
printer's margins, unless you tell them to.

The blue lines inside are a second set of guides. If you set your margin
guides to your printer's printable margins, then you can use the purple
guides to keep everything within your printer's printable area, and the
blue guides to keep important elements from being too close to the edge.
