Indesign... Modular Grids?

Rez Oo

Hi all.

Just a quick question...
Im looking to create a modular grid within Indesign, instead of just standard vertical columns, however, its not possible from my knowledge of working with the program... Is there a plugin of some sort?

Thanks in advance...

Layout → Create Guides...

Just have a master page open for editing when you do it.

Or is that not what you're looking for?

I know of two InDesign (CS2&3) scripts that might be handy for what you're trying to do:
-- Add Guides - draws guides around the selected object or objects
-- Make Grid - divides the selected frame (or frames) into grid(s) of frames

You can get the scripts on this page:

Thanks sound m8, thanks. Although, I wondered if there was a way of creating them from the main menu options, so to speak. Like your column choices... etc.

The way you have mentioned will do fine for me though. Many thanks to you both for your answers...
