You can now see your new paragraph style in the list on the left (under Paragraph Styles). Press the Apply button at the bottom of the dialog.Choose Align to Baseline Grid from the drop-down menu.It's probably called 'Fixed Linespacing' at the moment. Press the first button under 'Distances and Alignment'.Underneath the name field, click the 'Properties' tab.Any changes to the 'Body' character style will automatically be applied to any text using the 'Body' paragraph style. You have now told the 'Body' paragraph style to use the 'Body' character style. Press the Based On drop-down button and choose 'Body' from the list.Here you will connect the character style you created earlier to this paragraph style. Underneath the name field, click the 'Character Style' tab.If you give a character style and paragraph style the same name it will help you to remember they're connected. But fear not citizen, it's Baseline Grid to the rescue! This is a very time-consuming process which, if you had to do the same on many pages with multiple text frames on each, you'd soon become very frustrated with. Try to get the bottoms of the lines of text aligned at the same height on the page between the two text frames.

Select the bottom-right text frame and use your keyboard UP and DOWN keys to move the frame.(Try different zoom levels - menu View - to look at the text at different magnifications.) But you can fix it.

The characters on the left - on the blue dotted line - don't line-up with the characters on the right - on the purple line. Unless you've been very lucky when drawing your frames, if you look at the lines of text in the left-hand frame and compare them to the lines of text in the other text frame you'll notice that the bottoms of the characters are at different heights on the page, see figure 3.

Scroll as needed so that you are looking at the centre of the page.Choose View → 200% to zoom in to the page.
