48 Working with Pages
By aligning objects to intersecting horizontal and vertical lines (rather than just
centering objects on the page) you can create designs with greater visual interest.
When a grid is applied to your page the displayed context toolbar lets you alter
the grid's color and opacity, and reset or delete the grid. (See online Help.)
The grid is actually an overlay which appears as an ‘Overlay Layer’ in
the Layers tab. As such you can use the Visible layer control to
temporarily show/hide the grid.
To apply a Rule of Thirds grid:
1. From the Standard toolbar, click Overlays and
select Show/Hide Rule of Thirds from the drop-down list. A colored
grid is overlaid over your page.
2. (Optional) For selected objects, drag a corner (or edge) handle to
resize the grid or reposition the grid by dragging. The grid can be
manipulated just like an object.
3. Place pictures, frames, or vector objects under any of the intersecting
blue lines.
Once applied, the grid stays selected. Clicking away from the grid will deselect it,
but it can be reselected at any time (e.g., for repositioning later).
To select the grid:
• From the Standard toolbar, click Overlays and choose Select
Rule of Thirds.
