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.
