 Different units of measurement may be used for Horizontal and

Vertical grid spacing. Preferably, the Vertical grid should be set equal to the
line spacing used in the text blocks in the environment.

For example, when you need to design a form or pagedef to fit data with a
given number of lines per inch (the text blocks may be 6 lines per inch), it is
easier to align form elements if the vertical grid spacing is set to the same line
spacing.

Horizontal and Vertical drop-down menus provide options
for setting the grid measurement as follows:

 Grid divisions in multiples of 1 inch apart.

Grid divisions in multiples of 1 cm apart.

 (1/300 inch): The default resolution of a laser printer

is 300 dots per inch.

(1/72 inch; 0.353mm)

 Number of lines, characters per inch.

 Number of lines, characters per

centimeter.

The spacing for the grid measurement is entered in the boxes
adjacent to the Horizontal and Vertical measure.
