Snap objects to the document grid

  1. Choose View > Grids & Guides and make sure that Snap to Document Grid is selected (checked). If it is not selected, click it.
    Note: The Snap to Guides command controls both snapping to guides and snapping to the baseline grid.
  2. To specify the snap-to zone, choose Edit > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard (Mac OS), type a value for Snap to Zone, and click OK. The Snap to Zone value is always in pixels.

To snap an object to a grid, drag an object toward a grid until one or more of the object’s edges is within the grid’s snap-to zone.
