Setting up the baseline grid

The guides of the baseline grid run across the drawing page and follow the pattern of a ruled notebook. You can display or hide the baseline grid, turn snapping on or off, change the grid color, and set the line spacing. By default, the line spacing is 14 pt. All objects can snap to the baseline grid; only text frames can align to baseline grid. For more information, see Aligning text by using the baseline grid.
