3. Choose Edit > Preferences > Grids (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Grids
(Mac OS) to set the baseline grid options.
4. In the Baseline Grid section, type 6p in the Start box to match your top margin set-
ting of 6p0.
This option sets the location of the first grid line for the document. If you use the
default value of 3p0, the first grid line would appear above the top margin.
5. In the Increment Every box, type 14 pt to match the leading.

Tip
Customizing the View Threshold value allows you to see the baseline grid
at the zoom level you use when working with text—based on your screen
size, vision, and projects.
The View Threshold menu sets the minimum zoom level at which you can see the
grid onscreen. When this setting is 100%, the grid appears in the document win-
dow only at magnifications of 100% or higher.
7. Click OK.
8. Choose File > Save.
