Setting up document for Ansi A magazine

Hey! I started a magazine for the first time but realised that, apparently, the cover should be created as a separate document from the article spreads. There is an ad that should be on the inside front cover. Should the ad be on the second page of the cover document or on the first right-hand page of the article spreads document?

Also, how do you calculate the spine? It is an 8.5 by 11-inch, 68-page, perfect bound, with the cover measuring 8.5 by 11 inches and one page. Could anyone with professional experience in magazine design kindly offer some assistance? I would greatly appreciate it.

Justified text for magazine design

Hey Guys, I am currently learning to do a magazine. How do I make my text sit exactly on the baseline grid and avoid wide gaps throughout the text? I have been having this problem when I use any of the justified paragraph alignment. Also, how do I get enough spacing after a paragraph, so there is enough white space between each paragraph? The font I am using is Cambria at size 12; the leading is 15pt and the Baseline grid spacing is 15pt. Help!! What should I do?
