This happens when you have what we call a "name conflict". Some nameable object in your file (might be the name a symbol, a hatch, a record, or even an individual object name) is called "Guides". The Make Guides command is trying to name the class it puts Guide objects into "Guides", but it cannot because something else is already named that. So it does the next best thing; it names the class Guides-1. The next time, Guides-2, and etc. Here's how to fix:

1. Find out what is named "Guides" in your file and delete it. If you have a class called "Guides" then the name is corrupt, so delete it also.2. The Make Guides command should now work properly and should re-instate the "Guides" class in your document.3. Reset the previously created guide objects to the "Guides" class.4. Use the Purge Unused Objects command to delete all the "Guides-#" classes.
