I'm struggling making my grid match together.

[alany29]

Hi, I hope this isn't too silly of a question. However, I am completely stuck. I struggling getting my rows to match my baseline grid. My baseline grid is set at 12pt, my text at 10pt with 12pt leading. I've also set my guides with a 12pt gutter however not one number of rows fit (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 16, 24etc). I've even set my top margin at 48pt from the top to link that up but still no luck. I'm sure this is a mathematical mis-understanding on my part. Thanks.

What is the paper size?

I have to run so I'm going to guess A4? If I guessed correctly...

Important note: The screen shots dim some the of baseline grid lines, but they are all there on my screen. I changed the color to black but it didn't make a difference so I put them back to the default blue. In the final shot I zoomed in so that they are a little bit more visible.

A4 paper with T/B margins as shown:

Baseline set at 12, start 0 from top margin:

9 rows with a 12 pt gutter:

You can play with the margins, but keep the distance between the top and bottom margin 744 pts for 62 baselines.

When I zoom in, they show up a little better.
