Using design grids
After you apply design grids to text boxes or configure master page grids, you can use
the grids for alignment. You can visually align items with design grids, and you can
choose View > Snap to Page Grids to force items you move to align with master page
grids.
Using a master page grid
To specify a master page grid for a layout page, apply the master page to the project
page.
Locking text to a grid
Using a style sheet or local paragraph formatting, you can lock text to the master page
grid or a text box grid. To lock text to a grid:
1
To set up text locking for a style sheet, choose Edit > Style Sheets, select a paragraph
style sheet, click Edit, and then click the Formats tab. To set up text locking for a
paragraph, select the paragraph and then choose Style > Formats (Windows only), or
use the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette.
Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette.
2
In the Formats tab, check Lock to Grid.
3
To specify the grid to which the text will lock, choose Page Grid or Text box Grid
from the first drop-down menu below Lock to Grid.
4
To specify the grid line to which text will lock, choose Topline, Centerline, Baseline,
or Bottomline from the second drop-down menu below Lock to Grid.
Snapping items to design grids
You can make items snap to master page grid lines, and when you resize a text box,
you can snap to the text box grid.
To snap to a master page grid line, display the master page grid (View > Page Grid)
and then choose View > Snap to Page Grid.
The Snap Distance field in the Guides & Grids pane of the Preferences dialog box
enables you to change the 6-pixel default distance at which items snap to page grids
when Snap to Page Grids is chosen (View menu).
To snap to a text box grid line when you resize a text box, display the text box grid
and resize the box.
Aligning grids
