MS Office Forum / Word / Graphics / March 2007How to unsnap to grid when moving object in WORD?
I am beginning to use Office 2007 WORD. Can anyone help me what I should do in the following case: I am drawing a line using drawing tool and move it to a specific position, but I would like to turn off " snap to a grid line" feature so that I can move to the exact spot. Does pressing Alt not still accomplish this?  SignatureSuzanne S.

Yes, ALT with arrow keys works. I have been trying with ALT with mouse.

I was referring to Alt with mouse? That, I take it, *doesn't* work? SignatureSuzanne S.

I doesn't. It still snaps to the grid, in fact it even snaps to a larger grid( it jumps a larger steps). I am not sure it has to do with the fact that mine is a laptop, but I don't see how. Try yourself and tell me what you think. > I was referring to Alt with mouse? That, I take it, *doesn't* work? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > can > > > > move to the exact spot. I don't have Word 2007 installed, which is why I was asking rather than trying. SignatureSuzanne S.

Click & hold on the shape for a second before dragging, then hold down the Alt key & start dragging. To regulate the Grid & turn it on/off in 2007, select a shape to activate the Drawing Tools>Format contextual tab, click the Align feature & select Grid Settings...
