InDesign: How to Align Multiple Columns to a Baseline Grid (Video Tutorial)

In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Nigel French shows how simple it actually is to align type to InDesign’s baseline grid, even with multiple columns that each use different leading. By using a little math right inside InDesign, he sets a “rhythm” for each bit of type and ends up with a harmonious layout.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun-yet very competitive-session at our annual CreativePro Week conference.
