Using frames to create a page layout

Use the column guides you have just set to help you draw and position your frames. Before you start to draw your frames, you need to switch on the Snap to Guides and Snap to Grid commands.

To turn on frame snapping, follow the steps below:

1. From the Options menu, select Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears with the Document tab selected.

2. In the Grid group box, make sure the Snap to Guides and Snap to Grid check boxes are checked.

If the Snap to Guides and Snap to Grid check boxes are already checked, it means the commands are already turned on.

3. In the Grid Size spin box, make sure 0.10 is selected.

4. Click on OK.

When you draw or resize a frame with Snap to Guides and Snap to Grid turned on, the horizontal and vertical edges of the frames are drawn to the column guides and grid, ensuring that accurate and consistent frames are created.
