Indesign Guides not working - even with snap to grid off

[isabelw85444116]

Hi there,

I have been trying for ages to get the guides to match to my baseline grid. However, when I turn the guides on, the number that would equate to my grid don't show up. The guides only appear when they don't match the grid. For example, I am using a 12 pt grid on at 840pt x 840 pt page, with 3 collumns (24pt gutter) -  therefore, the rows should be 3 by 24 but the guides always disappear at this point.

If I hover over the page the mouse notices something is there but it is not visible.

I tried turning off snap to document grid off, but it still does not work?

I'm confused about why you want to use both a baseline grid and guides to mark your baselines. Isn't the baseline grid enough?

Also, baselines grids have a default view threshold of 75%. You can change this, but if you don't, the baseline grid is invisible when the magnification is under 75%.
