The placement of any log body item is stored in terms of horizontal inches or centimeters.
! Unlike the log header and footer, the log body items do not have any vertical placement since they will extend the length of the log when it is compiled.
The horizontal coordinates start at 0 along the left edge of the screen and increase to the right in decimal inches or centimeters. The horizontal range of the design page is dependent upon the currently-selected printer, page size, and orientation (established under the File | Page Setup command), since a printer with 15” paper will allow more design space (wider logs) than one with 8.5” paper. The paper's right edge will be shown with a red line.
You can turn on a reference grid at a user-defined pixel density to aid you in placing log body items. You can also activate "snapping" of items to that grid.
You can change the units that are displayed in the reference ruler by selecting the Inches or Centimeters option in the printer and page settings (File | Print Setup menu option).
