MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2007Powerpoint 2007 Snap to Freeform Shape?
Hi How do you make the Freeform shape 'snap to grid' as it did in previous versions of powerpoint (or word)? I draw a lot of shapes that need to be constrained in a grid and freeform is the only way to do it that I know. Thanks Ger HI POWERPOINT USER :) IF YOUR POWERPOINT IS ADVANCED ENOUGH YOU CAN CLICK INTO VIEW AND GRIDS AND GUIDES. YOU CAN USE THE SPACING TOOL TO SET THE SIZE OF THE GRID AND THE OTHER BUTTONS TO GENERALLY CHANGE THE GRID SETTINGS, REGARDS THE DAFT TV TEAM!

I know how to put snap to grid on. It is on, however freeform shape does not snap to the grid. A straight line, circle or square does but not a freeform shape. I want to draw irregular shapes that are still constrained to the grid. Thanks. Ger > HI POWERPOINT USER :) IF YOUR POWERPOINT IS ADVANCED ENOUGH YOU CAN CLICK > INTO VIEW AND GRIDS AND GUIDES.

Snap works here in 2003 on freeforms *while drawing them in the first place* but not while using Edit Points on them afterward. It doesn't work at all in 2007. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ >> I keep hearing about this change in behavior, but I can't seem to get any >> kind of snap to work with the freeform tool in PPT 2003 in the first [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > It doesn't work at all in 2007. I guess I can't tell the difference between the gridsnap and the simple straight lines you get when you click,click,click instead of click+drag to draw a freeform, because here it just seems as if I'm getting straight lines but not an actual snapping behavior.
