The section that tracks where text is placed on the title page is the X and Y axis section. It is located in the upper right of the screen. When text is being positioned on the title page, the X and Y axis section shows how far from the left (X) and top (Y) margins of the page your text box starts. These measurements change as you move the text box, and are shown in Inches or Centimeters.
The Grid helps you position text boxes on the page. Click on Show Grid to display or hide it.
