Indesign tutorial on tiling
5 easy steps to tile (manually) in InDesign
1. Divide the page into equal sections using guides.
2. Bring the start of the ruler (by dragging the corner of your ruler guide) to the left right corner of the first rectangle tile. Your corner should have x=0; y=0 coordinates.
3. Save your document and use “command Print” to start setting up for print.
4. In the Print menu choose “Setup” on the left, and “Tile, manual” at the bottom right.
5. Send to print.
Repeat the same process for all of the tile rectangles (in our case — 6 tiles) by dragging your corner ruler to the top left corner of the rectangle.

I started this blog to avoid any confusion. All the assignments and our classroom work would be recorded here, and wait for you to check it online.
We all trying to go "paperless" as much as possible, so this is our opportunity.

Thanks you.
