• Font Size: Enter a size to determine the height of each line in a design grid. This value
also determines the full cell height and width.
• Vertical Scaling: Enter a percentage value to adjust the height of each line in a design
grid, based on the font size.
• Font Scaling: Choose Horizontal or Vertical and enter a percentage of the font size in
the field. If you choose Horizontal, this value determines the full cell width. If you choose
Vertical, this value determines the full cell height.
• Line Spacing and Leading: The Line Spacing and Leading values determine grid spacing.
Line spacing is based on the following formula: Font Size multiplied by Vertical Scaling
plus Line Spacing equals Leading. For example, if Font Size is 12 pt, Vertical Scaling is
100%, and Line Spacing is 2 pt, then Leading is 14 pt.
• Line Spacing and Leading: The Line Spacing and Leading values determine grid spacing
and cell spacing. Line spacing is based on the following formula: Font Size multiplied by
Vertical font scaling or Horizontal font scaling plus Line Spacing equals Leading. For
example, if Font Size is 12 pt, Vertical Scaling is 100%, and Line Spacing is 2 pt, then
Leading is 14 pt.
• When a design grid is based on a paragraph style sheet, the Leading value is defined in
the style sheet. The Leading value can be a specific number or, if the value is auto, it is
derived from the Auto Leading value in the Paragraph tab of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences). See "Loading grid settings" for information about linking
style sheets to grid styles.
•
Character Spacing and Sending: The Character Spacing and Sending values determine
the horizontal Full Cell spacing in horizontal story direction and the vertical Full Cell
spacing in vertical story direction.
• Baseline Position: Choose an option in this area to specify positioning for the baseline
in the design grid.
To specify the offset origin, click Place at, choose Topline, Center (Up), Center (Down),
or Bottomline in the from the drop-down menu, and then enter a percentage value in
the field to specify the baseline position relative to the topline, centerline, or bottomline.
To read the offset origin from a font, click Read From Font and then select a font from
the drop-down menu. The baseline defined for the selected font determines the baseline
position for each line in the grid. The percentage value displayed below the font list
indicates the relationship between the baseline and the bottomline in the font's design.
• Offset: To control where the first line of the design grid is placed on the page or in the
box, choose Topline, Centerline, Baseline, or Bottomline and enter a measurement value
in the field.
• Adjust: Click to display the Adjust Lines Within Margins dialog box for master page
grids. For more information, see "Adjust Lines Within Margins dialog box."
