Named Grids panel overview
Use the Named Grids panel (Window > Type & Tables > Named Grids) to save frame grid settings in named grid format,

the appearance of a document consistent, using grid formats.

In the Named Grids panel, the Layout Grid format is shown by default. The layout grid setting for the currently selected
page is reflected in this grid format. When more than one layout grid is set for a single document, the settings shown
in Layout Grid in the Named Grids panel vary depending on the selected page layout grid contents.
When a frame grid with grid formatting is selected, the current grid format name is highlighted in the Named Grids
panel.
Create named grid formats
Like styles, named grid formats let you save a collection of frame grid settings and apply those settings to other frame
grids.
1 To define a new grid format in accordance with the existing frame grid format, select the frame grid with the
selection tool.
2 Choose Window > Type & Tables > Named Grids.
3 Choose New Named Grid from the Named Grids panel menu.
4 Specify options in the Edit Grid Format dialog box, and click OK.
