snap to grid

[republichik]

I have turned off the snap-to option in the drawing toolbar, and my text
boxes still snap to the sides of an object. Using the alt key does not help
either. ARRRRGGGHHH!!!

Maybe because you are inserting the text boxes as "inline with text"?

I solved a similar problem recently, and my solution may also help your
problem: The snap grid spacing seemed to keep resetting to the default step
size after I had set it to my preferred size.
Inside that dialog box about snap grid settings etc., there's a button in
the lower left-hand corner saying "Standard...". By clicking this one after
you've made your changes to the settings, you get the option to store the
changes in the normal.dot template, so that any new documents you create in
the future will have your preferred snap-to and grid settings...

Do the following:
1. Click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar.
2. Click the Grid command
3. Under Snap to, select Snap objects to grid check box.
4. Click the Deafult button.
A dialog box displays, prompting you whether you want the deafult settings
for the gridlines?. Clicking Yes will affect all new documents based on the
NORMAL Template. Likewise clicking Cancel will return to Drawing Grid dialog
box..
