Change the default zero point
Using the Origin setting in the Preferences dialog box, you can set the default zero point for rulers as well as the scope
of the horizontal ruler. The scope determines whether the ruler measures across the page, across the entire spread, or,
for multipage spreads, from the center of the spine.
If you set the ruler origin at each spread’s binding spine, the origin becomes locked at the spine. You won’t be able to
reposition the ruler origin by dragging it from the intersection of the rulers unless you choose another origin option.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Increments (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Units & Increments (Mac
OS).
2 In the Ruler Units section, in the Origin menu, do one of the following:
• To set the ruler origin at the top-left corner of each spread, choose Spread. The horizontal ruler measures across
the entire spread.
• To set the ruler origin at the top-left corner of each page, choose Page. The horizontal ruler starts at zero for each
page in a spread.
• To set the ruler origin at the center of the spine, choose Spine. The horizontal ruler measures in negative numbers
to the left of the spine and positive numbers to the right of the spine.
You can also change horizontal ruler origin settings using the context menu that appears when you right-click
(Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the horizontal ruler.
Use grids
In Layout view, you can view (or hide) a framework of grids and guides to show the position and alignment of objects.
In most work systems, a designer working with InDesign sets up the grids and guides for the publication. InCopy users
can see these layout aids after an InCopy story is linked to the InDesign document.
You can create grids within InCopy. But, because InDesign grids override InCopy settings when files are linked, this
feature is more useful for stand-alone documents that you publish directly from InCopy.
These grids and guides are never visible on printed or exported output. One set of rulers and grids exists per page, but
a guide can exist across all pages of a spread or within only a single page.
Note: Grids, rulers, and guides are not available in Galley or Story view.
Set up a baseline grid
Use Grid Preferences to set up a baseline grid for the entire document.
You can set up a baseline grid for a frame by using the Text Frame Options. (See Change text frame properties .)
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Grids (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Grids (Mac OS).
2 Specify a baseline grid color by choosing a color in the Color menu. You can also choose Custom in the Color menu.
3 For Relative To, specify whether you want the grid to start at the top of the page or the top margin.
4 For Start, type a value to offset the grid from either the top of the page or the top margin of the page, depending on
the option you choose from the Relative To menu. If you have trouble aligning the vertical ruler to this grid, try
starting with a value of zero.
5 For Increment Every, type a value for the spacing between grid lines. In most cases, type a value that equals your
body text leading, so that lines of text align perfectly to this grid.
