The grid spacing options are in the main 'Options' menu, although the forms stuff has a local facility to turn off grid. I still find the grid unusably faint though, even with a colour change. It must be an optical illusion, but the grid seems fainter the more I expand the screen image to get better accuracy. It seems quite dark with small scales, all but invisible at expanded scales. The other issue is that, yes, it does snap horizontally to the grid. Vertically however it seems to snap to positions between the grid points, taking two unequal steps to move between snap locations.

But the dots are still unusably faint I'm afraid. Oddly they're actually quite visible when the image is scaled down - but the more I magnify to allow more accurate positioning the fainter they appear.

The helplines do help to get rough alignment. -- Mike Scott Harlow, Essex, England -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

[libreoffice-users] Writer form design grid
Hi all. I've tried turning on the grid for form design in Writer. There are some dots there, but so faint as to be virtually invisible. It's quite unusable. Is there a way of making them more visible, and even of changing the spacing please? I hope I've just missed something obvious!
