Change gutter in indesign.

I am running indesign cs6. Use margins and column guides to position content. Adobe indesign s text frames can flow text from one column to another within a multi column frame. Enter values for top bottom left and right margins as well as the number of columns and the gutter the space between columns.

After i set up grid guides in my document using layout create guides and layout margins and columns i sometimes decide that a change should be made to the grid. You can set the gutter size from the new document menu when creating a new indesign project. When i go back up to layout create guides and layout ma. Or you can update or add a gutter to an existing project by selecting layout margins and columns from the top menu bar.

However i cannot find a way to edit the grid guides. Choose layout margins and columns. Indesign uses the first definition in margins and columns so i m going to guess that is what your question is about. Open your indesign project file select the page or pages you want to change select from the pages panel from the top menu select layout margins and columns in the popup margins and columns window set the number of columnsdesired must be two of more.

Assuming i guessed correctly are you trying to define the gutter width or gutter position.
