Grids and guides help you devise a template for placing objects in InDesign. With use of grids you are able to align objects to each other and in relation to the whole document. You have access to both a document and a column grid. These can be altered with your needs. As you consider creating guides, you may also want to consider hierarchy of space. You can add grids and guides when you create your new document or once it is built. All of these guides are non-printing. The column grid lets you assess horizontal space whereas the document grid lets you edit vertical space.
