About grids

Two kinds of nonprinting grids are available: a baseline grid for aligning columns of text, and a document grid for aligning objects. On the screen, a baseline grid resembles ruled notebook paper, and a document grid resembles graph paper. You can customize both kinds of grids.

Baseline grid (left) and document grid (right)

When a grid is visible, you can observe the following characteristics:

The baseline grid covers entire spreads, but the document grid covers the entire pasteboard.
Baseline grids and document grids appear on every spread and cannot be assigned to any master.
The document grid can appear in front of or behind all guides, layers, and objects, but cannot be assigned to any layer. The document baseline grid direction follows the column direction set in the Margins And Columns dialog box.
