more info for the grid

Many of you had questions about the grid measurements. Measuring in Picas was covered in your reading on p.36

In order for these measurements to make sense, when you set your document up you need the measurements to be in Picas, not inches

3p0 means 3 picas, 0 points

If I were to write 3p4, that means 3 picas, 4 points.

So when I refer to the top and bottom margins as (2x3p0), I'm referring to a margin of 3 picas, 0 points at the top and the bottom.

Hopefully that clears things up. We can talk more in class if you guys need.
