What is the best way to resize a document that uses text aligned to baseline grid

Hi,

Could someone help with suggestions for the best way of resizing a document that contains paragraph styles linked to the baseline grid? If I tell Indesign to adjust the fonts when I do my layout adjustment, the fonts remain aligned with the original baseline grid. Can the baseline grid be automatically adjusted as well? If not, what would be the best way to resize a book that has paragraph styles aligned to the baseline grid while keeping all the content on the same pages as much as possible?

Thanks,

Unfortunately there is no quick way. Baseline grid would be calculated.

 

There's plenty of tutorials on Setting up baseline grids.

 

It will be based on page size, margins, font sizes and leading.

What way is the book being resized? Is it proportional?
If so - you can reduce the percentage scale when printing. 

 

If it's being printed professionally the printers can do this for you. 

 

What size is now and what size do you need it?

Hi, the book is going from 127mm x 194mm to 148mm x 210mm, but with some changes to the content (so has to be reworked anyway.) So not a printer option. I would think using Adjust layout with auto adjust margins and fonts set to on, but with paragraph styles aligned to baseline grid it doesn't seem quite so straightforward. Suggestions?
