Thank you so much for sharing this. I didn't know you could create custom strokes. To do lines I used to make paragraphs with lines. But it didn't work for dotted pages because the dots were too close. Thank you very much.
Giant gasp - are you kidding me. I was losing my mind trying to create dots awhile ago. Had no idea you could do that!! BRILLIANT. Thank you my new indesign guru
OMG, You don't know how you just helped me. I have been looking for the easiest way to do lined pages for so long. I really appreciate this video!!! Thank you so much.
Hi The_Tilago!😊 The pleasure's mine!😊 I am so happy to hear this from you! Glad to know it helped you a lot. Let me know what else you'd like to know or learn.😊
You're most welcome Fiona! Glad I can help. Please let me know if there are more that you want to learn. Maybe I can help and create a video on it!😊😊 Appreciate it a lot!😀
Wonderful video. Now in 2020 (more time to study I guess) I have done my first Indesign project thanks to you. Hope you are safe and sound and look forward to more of your awesome work!
Oh thank YOU so much. I'm glad to help. Truly appreciate your comment and congratulations on your first InDesign project! Keep designing and you too, stay safe especially this holiday season.😊😊
@@travelingdesigner Thank you for your answer. I wasn't clear, I am sorry. The distance between one dot and the next horizontally is quickly set with the dialog box (pattern), but then how do you ensure that the distance between the dots vertically are the same 5mm?
Oh ok. Well, there are some tricks for that. One is using Grids and Guides. You can also use the Align Panel as well as the Object & Layout Panel. Not as direct as creating the dots from the stroke panel though. :(
this toturial is amazing, thanks so much, i printed it, but i would like to have grey dots and not black, how can i change the color of it? please help me
Thank you! When you highlight the object (dots), the color palette tool will appear at the top. You can then change it to whatever color you want or lower the opacity/transparency.😊
WOW, this is really professional! thanks a bunch! Ive tried this and im printing on duplex mode. However, the lines arent parallel. How do I fix this? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi Teca! :) Thanks a bunch! As for your question, you can try aligning them by selecting both of the tables (your lines) then go to Window>OBjects & Layouts> Align. Use the ones that would give you the alignment that you need. I hope I understand your question correctly. Too bad we can't attach anything on this comment section. :) I could help you better if I see your work. :) Let me know if it works or if I misunderstood your question. :)
3:46 when I turn off all but the middle border and the bottom, I still have a black border outlined and it doesn't seem to make a difference wether I have all of the borders enabled or none. Would you happen to know what might cause this?
@@travelingdesigner Yes, it still had a black outline. I was looking for a stroke on the text box but it was actually on inside when I double clicked into the paragraph settings. Apologies from an InDesign noob 😅
Hi Kdeleon, definitely. There would be some difference on how to create them but you can do this in Affinity. Hmm I might do a video on that. Good idea!! :) Thank you!!! This is why I love comments!!
@@travelingdesignerYES, It would be incredible! Your'e so kind ☺ Taking advantage of your knowledge in graphic design softwares 😅, could you help me clarify this doubt... what color mode do you use for your low content books? RGB or CMYK? I understand that the standard for printing is CMYK of course, but the first book I published was done in Canva and when I uploaded it to Amazon the cover looked pale and washed out, now I am designing my books in Publisher and I want to avoid this situation by working from the beginning with CMYK What parameters do you use with your books? THANK YOU 😃
Thank you!!! This has solved my problem 🥰 I really appreciate it. Can you do a tutorial on how to export pocket planner inserts to A4 paper (pdf) with crop marks?
Hi Jet Sy, You're vlog is amazing I came across your channel by accident but so happy that I did you are an absolute genius, that is one of the things I have been trying to do in indesign since my subscription to there design software packages, which cost me a fortuneeach month, the other thing that I have been trying to do but sadly losing the battle with is once you have actually drawn your lines in, indesign can you then actually type on the line without actually losing the bottom half of your text, I have been trying for two days solid now three hours each time but sadly to no avail, {- I Failed to succeed -}, do you know if it is actually possible as I have asked various people online but no replies if you could show or me in one of your tutorials it would be truly very much appreciated, as you can see I am now a Subscriber to your TH-cam Channel.
Thank you for the sub!! :) Lines and texts are two different elements. If you are trying to put a text on top of a line, you can do so. They won't affect each other. Just make sure of the spacing between them. I hope I understand you correctly. :)
I have a quick question, does anyone know how to put a color under the dotted line? I put a color block under it but the dotted line is giving me white strokes all over, pleas helppp thank youuuu
Thank you so much for sharing this. I didn't know you could create custom strokes.
To do lines I used to make paragraphs with lines. But it didn't work for dotted pages because the dots were too close.
Thank you very much.
You're most welcome. 😀 Glad to be able to help. Hope it gets easier for you now.😀 Yes, I used to do it the hard way as well. 😊

You're welcome.
This is amazing! Thank you! I have one question. How do I make sure the dots form a perfect square?
My pleasure! :) I'm not quite sure what you mean by your question. Can you please elaborate? :)

Hi there! I'm using the 2021 version on a mac and don't see the option to disable the bottom and middle lines. Can you help?
If you double click or highlight the row/columns, you will then see it at the top bar beside the cell and table styles icons.
3:46 when I turn off all but the middle border and the bottom, I still have a black border outlined and it doesn't seem to make a difference wether I have all of the borders enabled or none. Would you happen to know what might cause this?
Did you preview it (hit W on your keyboard to preview)?
@@travelingdesigner Yes, it still had a black outline. I was looking for a stroke on the text box but it was actually on inside when I double clicked into the paragraph settings. Apologies from an InDesign noob 😅
No apologies needed. Sometimes I overlook things too. :) We keep learning every day. :) Glad you found it and shared it here. Thank you! :)
Hi Jet, is it possible to achieve the same results in Affinity Publisher? 👩🏻💻
Hi Kdeleon, definitely. There would be some difference on how to create them but you can do this in Affinity. Hmm I might do a video on that. Good idea!! :) Thank you!!! This is why I love comments!!
@@travelingdesignerYES, It would be incredible! Your'e so kind ☺

What parameters do you use with your books?
THANK YOU 😃
As much as possible, use CMYK. Canva is an online tool and it uses RGB but there are tools to convert rgb to cmyk. :)
@@travelingdesigner Thank you!! 🥰
Thank you!!! This has solved my problem 🥰 I really appreciate it. Can you do a tutorial on how to export pocket planner inserts to A4 paper (pdf) with crop marks?

Thank you for the sub!! :) Lines and texts are two different elements. If you are trying to put a text on top of a line, you can do so. They won't affect each other. Just make sure of the spacing between them. I hope I understand you correctly. :)
How did you determine the number of rows and column. I have an 8.5 x 11 and my 38 rows and 30 columns look different than yours. .
How is it different? Is that for the graph notebook?
@@travelingdesigner Yes. The squares look like rectangles instead of cubes.
Never mind. I was inserting the table for two pages at a time and that stretched out my boxes. Thanks for the awesome tutorial, Jet Sy :)
@@johngiraltbedford haha okay. No worries! Thanks to you too.😊
Why do you put the lines inside the margins, but the graph and dotted lines go all the way to the edge?
😊 You can put anything inside or outside the margins. It's up to you what type of notebook you're creating or who your audience is.
Wouldn't you bleed the lined?
You can if you go all the way out but if the lines are within the margins, you don't need bleed.😊
I have a quick question, does anyone know how to put a color under the dotted line? I put a color block under it but the dotted line is giving me white strokes all over, pleas helppp thank youuuu
Color under the dotted line? Do you mean like another line with a color after the dotted line?
How to disable the horizontal line??
Same way you would change the stroke or lines. 😀
@@travelingdesigner thank you for the reply I need to do it now. Once again thank you!!!
@@ireniacai8661 You are welcome.😀
When I create the graph paper it looks longer, not squared :/
😊 Just add more rows👍
