Publisher: upside down text boxes not conforming to baseline grid

[Eli Kurtz (He/Him)]

I'm working on a project that will eventually fold up into a 5.5x8.5 pamphlet. Because of the way it will be folded, some text needs to be "upside down" in the layout. I'd like to work with a baseline grid for this project but it seems like only the right-side-up text boxes are conforming to the baseline grid settings. See the attached picture for an example.

Anyone know what might be going on here or how I can fix it?

Lay it all out on right-way-up pages (5.5x8.5 feet, millimetres, whatever your units) in the right order. Output these pages as single PDFs, then rotate and align the PDFs (aka imposition) in a second document. Don't try to edit or design upside-down pages. It will do your brain in.

Hi @Eli Kurtz (He/Him)To confirm when you have the text frame selected and you adjust the baseline grid it not updating, can you provide a sample file?

Here's the file. I suspect h_d is right but I'd love to find out otherwise. Thanks for the help so far!

Try using the Text Frame Baseline grid instead of the Document's baseline grid.

This worked! Thanks so much for the tip. I didn't even realize this was a feature.
