FYI you can just set a right indent tab character instead of manually using the width measurement of the text box with a regular tab. Then if you happen to resize the text box it wont even matter as it always remains at the right side of the frame.

I love the designs. Quick question, do you use baselinegrid to ensure line up of the body text?

is there a way to add this to all paragraph styles in CC libraries so one doesn't have to remember to do this with every document they open and so paragraph styles don't override it if paragraph style from CC library is applied?

Thanks for sharing ! Question I did not understand how did you get the text to align to the top of the text frame? Meaning for instance in the "A2 Landscape" title there is no space between the "A" and the top of the text frame. Appreciate if you could clarify that. Many thanks

Hi Stephen, Once again: Thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge! I've run through your tutorial and i've managed to create an A4 modular grid using 10pt leading and a 3 x 3 grid that fits the baseline. But I'm having a bit of issues with matching my rows and collums grid in such a way that the the baseline gutter match my baseline grid. It's hard to explain, but I hope you know what I mean. I'm just tring to create another layout in A4 using a leading of 12 pt and trying to get more rows and collums into my grid setup but having everything still line up perfectly like you 😅 Sorry for the long text. Hope anyone has some insight, as I'm struggling a bit with matching the gutters of my grid to the baseline. All the best.

@stephenkelman_ 4 ай бұрын

Hi Knast - is the distance between your top and bottom margins a multiple of your baseline?

@knast7093 4 ай бұрын

@@stephenkelman_ Thanks for your reply. Just tried again and I think it's because I picked 10pt as my baseline and 20pt for my margins - and as you said that's harder to get to work. Following your guide I've made it 20,945 pt margins for making it fit the baseline. Which make my height from top to bottom margin: 800 pt. I can get rows of 5 and 3 to line up with the baseline and also I think 9 with a gutter of 10. So perhaps it's just a strange kind of modular grid? 🔍😅Anyways! I'm learning so much from your tutorials mate 🙏

Why is the vertical gutter 16.5pt? I know it's coming from 11pt x 1.5, but I don't understand its rationale. How did you decide to use x1.5 of 11pt (leading) there? This is a really great tutorial. Thank you!

Hi Stephen, great video as always. I'm just wondering if you've ever encountered an issue with setting up your document grid, baseline grid, and margins to pages _and_ spreads. I've set up a document in InDesign and all is well, however the document grid is different on the first page than on the rest of the document, (cover page vs spreads). As in it's the same dimensions, but the document grid itself is misaligned between Page 1 and Pages 2-3. Page 4 (being the last page of the document) seems to be unaffected and is aligned with 2-3. Have you come across this? I'm wondering if it's a bug or if it's there for another reason. Wondering if there is a fix. I don't know a better place to ask about grids than this channel!

@stephenkelman_ 7 ай бұрын

Hi Scobed… I don't think you can have a document grid with a different origin on the same spread. I might be wrong, so let me know if you come across a fix.
