Turn Snap To Grid behavior on or off

Applies to: Microsoft Office OneNote 2003

When Snap To Grid is turned on, Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 automatically aligns text, pictures, and other objects as you place or move them on the page, by snapping them to an invisible grid. When Snap To Grid is turned off, OneNote lets you place or move items anywhere on the page.

On the Edit menu, click Snap To Grid .

When the Snap to Grid option is enabled, you can temporarily override it to more precisely align certain items on the page by holding down the ALT key while moving note containers and other objects.
The size of the invisible grid corresponds roughly to the Small Grid rule lines option in OneNote. To view your page with this option, on the View menu, point to Rule Lines, and then click Small Grid.
