I am having trouble formatting the Page Template Frame formatting. Are there Rulers and Grid? Is there any way to enter the Frame dimension as numeric values? Surprisingly, the property didn’t give me what I was looking for.
My problem is that dragging box handles doesn’t give me the precise placement or size I want. The keyboard shortcut ⌥ + ← ↑ → ↓ increments in a very weird way, and it never gives me the size I want, either. I feel like I am missing something.
There are Frames Properties in the lower panel which you can use for precise dimensions. But be aware which values are changeable depends on the blue padlocks on the left panel.
Thank you for your response. Now I understand my error. I didn’t realize the lock was preventing me from entering values.
Weird. It is quite confusing to me why it would let you resize with the mouse and/or keyboard when they are locked, and you must unlock to modify by values.
Do I understand correctly there are no rulers or grids?
Not so far. It’s been requested several times before.
The locks can be confusing at first … What they do is anchor the side of a frame to the margin. So the frame dimensions can change with the page size, and you can offset the edges from there. With a lock not engaged, then you’re setting the size independent of the page.
