align text to baseline grid

I constantly forget where the "align text to baseline grid" is. According to Adobe's Help it's in the paragraph menu (where it should be) but it's not. Where do I find it? Thanks!

For a one off text box it's in the control panel at the top of the screen or at the base of the para panel... if you are using para styles you can assign it in the para style options under 'Indents and Spacing' – Align to grid

Hi @Grundoon Groundhog!

 

It's been a while. Hope you've been well. The helpx files can be wrong so I checked. I think your mind read menu where it correctly says panel. 😉 Plus it's also a paragraph style attibute, as per @TᴀW.

Thanks, Barb. I didn't realize those were different things (you'd think I'd know by now). I've never had as much trouble as I'm having with this project. 

Hope you are well and happy.
