Base On Page Layout

The location of the items on the page determines the reading order.

If Base On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects by scanning left to right and top to bottom. In some
instances, especially in complex, multicolumn documents, the design elements may not appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to
rearrange and format the contents.

(Asian versions only) If Base On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects according to the document’s
binding (left to right or right to left). In some instances, especially in complex, multicolumn documents, the exported design elements may not
appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.

Same As XML Structure

.

Same As Articles Panel

applied to all margins: top, bottom, left, and right.
