Re: Drawing Gridlines

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi R.N.

For the most part, the folks here don't work for Microsoft so 'we' can't do much of anything to change the program :) As I
mentioned a case can be made either way and one of the cases was expressed as how it is now, so it's also not clear if you're
disagreeing that there can be other ways to look at it?<g>.

The underlying grid structure is tied to the use of specific language input as well. If, for example, you have an Asian language
enabled in Office then the grid settings are in File=>Page Layout=>Document grid (i.e. it's not just for graphics).

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle the display of the drawing gridlines on/off
Tools=>Customize=>Commands=>Keyboard=>All Commands
and assign a keyboard shortcut to 'View Gridlines'
(in Word 2007
Office Button=>Word Options=>Customize=>Keyboard=>All Commands)

I disagree. If it was a document setting I suspect I could open a window
with it or a window without it. Why is document map then allowed to be
documemt specific? The grid lines are overwhelm on text areas, but extremely
usefull when creating document. If you really wanted to make it application
specific then I am sure you could easily offer pressing the control key or
default setting to override single document behavior. Much more flexible. <<
