Aligning grids

To align a text box grid line to a master page grid line or to a guide:

  1. Make sure View > Guides, View > Page Grids, and View > Text Box Grids are checked.
  2. Select the Item tool QuarkXpress tool item Aligning grids.
  3. Click a grid line in the text box and then drag the box. Note that even as you move the grid line, the original position of the box continues to display. You can align the selected grid line with another grid line in the box, a master page grid line, or a guide. (See notes on Live Drag below.)
Note: Live drag is a feature that lets you see the contents of an item while you are moving the item. However, selected grid lines do not display when live drag is active.
