Watch a video on snap to grid.
Snap to grid allows you to easily auto-align text, images, shapes, and tables within your slides.
The following options are available with snap to grid:
- Turn off the grid and smoothly drag your object: hold the Alt key (Option key if using Mac) while dragging an object
- Turn on vertical and horizontal dragging guides: hold the Shift key while dragging
- Nudge an object in 1 pixel increments: hold the Shift key while moving an object with the arrow keys
- Preserve an object's aspect ratio while resizing: hold the Shift key while resizing an object
- Create a duplicate of an object while leaving the original in place: hold the Ctrl key while moving an object
Snap to grid is enabled by default. You can disable this option by clicking Arrange in your presentation toolbar and then unchecking Snap to grid.
