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.”
Adjust: Click to display the Adjust Lines Within Margins dialog box for master •
page grids, or the Adjust Lines Within Box dialog box for text box grids. For
more information, see “Adjust Lines Within Margins dialog box.”
Lines within margin or Lines within box: This field displays the number of •
lines that can fit on a page or in a box, based on the settings above.
Cells per line: This field displays the number of cells that can fit on a line, •
based on the settings above.
