Stick instruction on magazine page layout? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adhere

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stick' is the definition.
(to adhere to something is to stick to it)

'instruction on magazine page layout?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adhere that I've seen before include "Remain attached" , "Header (anag)" , "Bond" , "Stick with header" , "Stick to or remain faithful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
