Using Guides and Grids
Guides and grids provide visual cues to help you align words, graphics, and
other objects in your presentation. Guides are vertical and horizontal lines,
and grids are intersecting lines. Both help you to align objects within a slide
on the screen; they do not show up in a presentation or on print. When you are
using guides and grids, you can:
- Choose to show, hide, or delete them.
- Use your pointer to adjust the guides.
- Set the spacing between grid lines by selecting a preset measurement.
- To align a graphic by using a grid
- On the View menu, click Grid and Guides.
- Under Snap to, select the Snap objects to grid check box. This automatically
aligns objects on a grid. Click OK to apply the settings.
- Under Grid settings, select the Display grid on screen check box.

- Click OK. The drawing objects and pictures will now be aligned to the
grid, and will move in the increments specified in the Spacing drop-down
list.
