Dragging multiple images into indesign, automatic gap between images driving me crazy

When I drag a group of images into my indesign document and then press the arrow keys to form a grid, there is an automatic gap added between the images. I can change the gap by holding the command key and pressing the arrow keys, but I don't want to do that. I ALWAYS want 0 gap. I have looked everywhere and googled my eyeballs out and I can't find anything. So before I set my computer on fire, someone please tell me how to change the default setting for this. It works as expected in other documents, but in the new document I can't find any settings anywhere that affect this behavior.

 

pls, for the love of all that is good and holy, someone help me with this....

Correct answer SJRiegel

Layout > Margins and Columns. Change the gutter value to 0. Do this on the Master Page to affect the entire document. - Or do it during docuemnt setup.

You can do a Document preset with this.

I tried this, and it didn't work. I changed the setting in Margins and Columns and it didn't work, I tried setting it for the master page, and then applying the master to all the pages and it still did not work.

Just kidding, this did the trick. I had to apply the master page three times for it to take, but once it did it finally worked. Blegh.

 

Thanks for the help!

The gutter dimension for the Gridify feature is determined by the page’s Layout>Margins and Columns Gutter dimension. Set it to 0

I was so sure this was the setting, but it did not had any effect.
