To Set Up a Grid

The first time you switch on a grid for a document, Sahafi automatically uses the preset grid option. It is active on every document and master page. You can use this grid, or change to another grid at any time. You can choose from eight standard grids whose margins are already defined, from one column by one row (1 by 1) to eight columns by eight rows (8 by 8), based on the following:

  • Top and bottom margins-0.5 inch (36 points; 3 picas)

  • Inside and outside (or left and right) margins-0.5 inch (36 points; 3 picas)

  • Column and row spacing-0.25 inch (18 points; 1 pica, 6 points)

Or you can set up your own custom grid, with as many columns and rows as you want.

  1. Choose Grid from the Page menu. The preset grid of 2 columns and 4 rows appears.

  2. Choose Grid Setup from the Page menu. The Grid Setup dialog box appears.

  3. Click the standard grid option you want, or leave the Custom Grid button checked.

  4. Click OK.
    If you chose Custom Grid, the Custom Grid dialog box appears. Fill in measurements for the margins, row and column spacing, and the number of rows and columns. You can deselect the Double Sided option if you're working with a single-sided document. Click OK. The grid appears on all document and master pages. It doesn't change the positions of any objects already on the pages.
