Spread Alignment

In a printed book, the lines of body text on the left page should sit at the same heights as the lines on the right page. When your book has a mix of fonts, sizes, and spacings on different elements, those elements may not be a perfect multiple of the body text height. The lines drift out of step and the left and right pages stop matching.

Spread Alignment fixes this.

Grid Snapping

Grid Snapping forces your content to land on the body text grid so the lines of the left and right pages stay perfectly in sync. Choose the mode that matches your book.

  • Last paragraph: Only snaps the last text paragraph on each page. Best when most of your book is plain prose and only the final paragraph needs help fitting the page.
  • Every paragraph: Snaps every text element on every page. Best for books with a lot of mixed elements like callouts, blockquotes, tables, and varied subheadings, where small differences add up.
