Before you start designing a presentation, it is highly recommended to review and configure the grid options.
Using the grid properly can save a lot of time as it helps automatically position and size page elements in line with each other.

​
How to Set Grid Options

  1. Click Options on the Tools menu.
  2. Go to the Design Window tab.
  3. Adjust one or more of the grid settings to your preference.
  4. Click OK or Apply to confirm and save the changes.

​
Grid Settings Explained

​
Grid Width/Height

  • Define the default grid width and height in pixels.
  • These sizes will be applied to any new presentation you create.

​
Show Grid

  • Choose whether the grid should be visible or hidden while designing.

​
Snap to Grid

  • When enabled, all future page elements will snap to the defined grid, ensuring perfect alignment.

​
Tip

You can temporarily disable the Snap to Grid function while designing by selecting Snap to Grid on the Home menu.

​
Important Remarks

  • When a new presentation is created, it will inherit the grid width and height settings defined in the options.
  • After a presentation is created, grid settings are stored within that presentation, allowing for unique grid settings per presentation.
  • To modify the grid for an existing presentation, use Presentation Properties from the Presentation menu.
  • Even if Show Grid is turned off, Snap to Grid can still function.
  • Turning on Snap to Grid will only affect future operations—it will not retroactively adjust existing page elements.
