• To preview changes as you make them, check Preview.

• To use the specifications of an existing master page grid, grid style, or style sheet, click

Load Settings. For more information, see "Loading grid settings."

Design Grids: Text Settings tab

To determine the size, scale, and position of a design grid, use the controls in the Text

Settings tab. The Text Settings tab displays in the Master Guides & Grid, Edit Grid Style,

and the Grid Settings dialog boxes.

If you check Preview, you can view the results of changes as you make them.

Text Settings tab of Master Guides & Grid

• Font Size: Enter a size to determine the height of each line in a design grid.

• Vertical Scaling: Enter a percentage value to adjust the height of each line in a design

grid, based on the font size.

• 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.

• 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.
