View ruler guides
Ruler
guides are different from grids in that they can be positioned freely
on a page or on a pasteboard. InDesign users can create two kinds
of ruler guides: pageguides, which appear
only on the page on which they create them, or spreadguides,
which span all pages and the pasteboard of a multiple-page spread.
You can view ruler guides if they exist in the InDesign document
or assignment file, but you cannot create them in InCopy.

in front of margin and column guides.
