How to Create Layout Grids in Publisher

MORE INFORMATION

To easily set up grids, use Publisher's Layout Guides feature:

1. From the Arrange menu (Layout menu in Publisher 2.0), choose Layout Guides.
2. Under Margin Guides, set your margins. The margin guides appear as a pink square in the workspace.
3. To create a grid, decide how many columns and rows you want to appear, and type those numbers under Grid Guides.
4. Choose OK. You now have a blue grid in the background of your workspace.

Example

For standard 8.5-by-11-inch paper, if you set a 1-inch margin on all sides, this leaves a 6.5-by-9-inch workspace. To create a grid of .5-inch squares, set the Grid Guides to 13 columns and 18 rows.

To create a .25-inch grid, adjust the Grid Guides to 26 columns and 36 rows.
