20 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide By setting a threshold for a document’s baseline grid, you can control when the grid displays. In the example above, the document is displayed at 70% magnification, which is beneath the View threshold, so the baseline grid is not visible. At a higher magnification (left), the baseline grid is visible. Document-wide baseline grids. A baseline grid looks like ruled notebook paper and is useful for aligning text baselines across multiple columns. To set up a baseline grid, choose InDesign > Preferences > Grids in Mac OS or Edit > Preferences > Grids in Windows. In the Baseline Grid area of the Grids pane, choose a grid color and specify the vertical starting point in the Start field. Use the other controls to determine the placement, spacing, and display of baseline gridlines. To show a document grid, choose View > Grids & Guides > Show Baseline Grid. Text-frame-specific baseline grids. You can also create text-frame-based baseline grids. For example, if you’re working on a magazine page that includes text frames for both body text and a sidebar, you can create separate baseline grids for each text frame. To create a baseline grid for a selected text frame, choose Object > Text Frame Options, and then use the Baseline Grid controls in the Baseline Options area. Ruler guides. Ruler guides differ from gridlines in that they can be positioned freely on a page or pasteboard. There are two kinds of ruler guides: page guides, which appear only on the page on which you create them, and spread guides, which span all pages and the pasteboard of a multiple-page spread. To create a ruler guide, click the horizontal or vertical ruler, and drag onto the spread or pasteboard. If you release the mouse when the pointer is within a spread, the guideline extends to the edges of the spread. If you release the mouse when the pointer is on the pasteboard, the guide spans the pasteboard and spread. You can also create a ruler guide by double-clicking the horizontal or vertical ruler. When you double-click a ruler, a guide is placed where you click.
Ruler guides behave much like objects you create with the drawing tools. Select a ruler guide by clicking it with the Selection, Direct Selection, or Position tool. You can select multiple guides by Shift-clicking or by clicking and dragging a rectangle that intersects the guides. You can reposition a guide by clicking and dragging it or by selecting it, and then entering an X or Y value in the Control panel. To delete a ruler guide, select it, and then press the Delete or Backspace key or choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Clear. Page guides. The Create Guides command (Layout menu) lets you create a set of evenly spaced page guides. You can specify the number of rows and columns and the gutter width, and place the guides relative to the page margins or the page edges. These guides behave the same as ruler guides. The Grids & Guides menu (View > Grids & Guides) provides several commands for showing, hiding, locking, and snapping objects to gridlines and guidelines. Can I use layers to organize the objects on pages? Yes, the Layers panel (Window > Layers) makes it easy to create and edit specific areas or kinds of content. For example, you can create separate layers for graphics objects and text frames. You can show or hide, lock or unlock, or print or not print individual layers. You can use layers to display alternate design ideas for the same layout or to create different versions of an advertisement for different regions. You can change the stacking order of layers by dragging them up or down within the Layers panel. You can move a selected object to a different layer by dragging the small colored square that’s displayed to the right of the current layer’s name in the Layers panel to another layer. the grids & guides commands let you control the behavior and display of gridlines and guidelines. the Book panel displays the names and page numbers of all the InDesign documents that comprise a book. what’s the best way to organize a long document? Although InDesign lets you create documents with as many as 9,999 pages, you’ll probably want to use the Book feature (File > New > Book) to manage long documents. A book file is a collection of InDesign documents (INDD files) that share the same character and paragraph styles, table and cell styles, object styles, color swatches, and master pages. You can sequentially number pages in booked documents, print all or selected documents in a book, or export them as Adobe PDF files. You can also generate tables of contents, cross-references, and indexes for booked files. Setting up Documents, Pages, and Master Pages 21
