Division by Nine and Division by Twelve

[Ten rozdział nie został jeszcze przetłumaczony.]

Using the Division by Nine, you will first of all have to divide your document page into nine columns and nine rows. In iCalamus, this is best done using the Document Grid. Open the relevant dialog in the View menu and set the parameters like shown in the following image:

You will then see your document pages divided by nine as expected. If you don't see the grid, you will have to switch it visible in the View menu first. Therefore you have to select the menu item Show Document Grid once and click it, until it shows a check mark. Then the grid is shown. Switch the grid magnetical right now, if you did not already.

Please choose the Text tool now and create a frame in the right document page. It should start in the second column and the second row and should get a size which leaves two empty columns at the right and two rows below as shown in the next snapshot.

Now add a second text frame on the left document page following the same rule. Pay attention to keep two empty columns outside the left text frame (this time it is left to the frame).

When your document looks like the one shown here, you have walked a long way with your book already – honestly.

Now you may try the Division By Twelve alternatively and figure out what is the difference between Division by Nine and Division by Twelve. For our example, you have to set up the Document Grid like shown below:

You got it! – The Division by Twelve isn't that splendid and offers a larger type area. You can e.g. put more text in the same number of pages using the Division By Twelve. But there are more adjusting screws which we will talk about later.
