      Okay, I give up! I did my due diligence and looked online all over the place for an answer to this mystery, but I’m stumped. In Lynda.com’s InDesign Secrets #236, David Blatner shows this cool way to auto-reflow images in a grid, and while the tip, having to do with inline anchored objects, is easy enough to understand, for the life of me I can’t figure out how to make a grid within a text frame — specifically, with that 1 or 2 point gutter between the objects. I wanted to guess that it’s not a grid at all in the conventional sense, but an apparent one made out of individual grouped objects (the photos with names), each with some text wrap applied, but it doesn’t really work… at least not on my end. Anyone?

      What is that????? If you’re going to shoot spam onto a well-respected website for design professionals such as InDesign Secrets, kindly demonstrate a working grasp of the English language, you creep you. Seriously! Is NOTHING sacrosanct in this world?!

      I hope one of the moderators cleans up the spam.

      Re: your question. I did not watch the lynda.com movie, but from your description I assume they used the ‘Gridify’ trick.

      Check out these articles:

      Thanks for the heads-up about the spam. Sorry, that sneaks through sometimes. It was rather funny, though, how bad the writing was.

      Ari, those are great grid tips. But in this particular case, the grid was created manually (less fun than the gridify feature!). I wrote an article about it here: https://creativepro.com/auto-reflowing-images-in-a-grid.php

      Ah, manually…the lost art. Thank you, David and Ari.
