I was wondering if there was a way to make the text frame gutter size default to the new size.
Change frame gutter size in indesign.
The text frame changes size depending on the width you set in this column.
We can change the gutter size manually right click text frame options and then reduce the size.
When you finish click ok to apply the changes.
You can define the gutter s width by choosing object text frame options.
They remain the old size 1p0.
While they are the new reduced size on the actual page 0p6 the text frames do not automatically change.
To specify the size and position of the character count view select the text frame and choose object frame grid options.
If you do have a text frame selected it still may not be visible because of size shape of your display.
Change the value in the gutter text field.
If you don t see the column button when the frames are selected you can.

But that can be.
It s grouped with the rectangle frame tool and the ellipse frame tool.
Change frame grid properties using the selection tool select the frame whose properties you want to modify.
Under view options specify the char count view and size and click ok.
Click anywhere on page 3 to the left of the text wasting time in the polygon dialog box change polygon width and polygon height to 9p change number of sides to 8 and then click ok.
You can change margins and columns by setting new values in the margins and columns dialog box.
Choose layout margins and columns and then modify each individual page.

Indesign uses the first definition in margins and columns so i m going to guess that is what your question is about.
Type text frame options number and gutter the control panel buttons are just shortcuts for these two commands.
Edit the buttons on the control panel to make room or.
Select the polygon frame tool in the tools panel.
The space between two columns on the page.
If the gutter is too wide change the value in the gutter text field to a lower number.
