Examples

The following code example sets the horizontal and vertical point of origin for the grid, sets the horizontal and vertical distance between gridlines, and then enables the Snap objects to grid feature for the document. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

private void DocumentGridDistanceHorizontal()
{
    this.GridOriginHorizontal = 80;
    this.GridOriginVertical = 90;
    this.GridDistanceHorizontal = 9;
    this.GridDistanceVertical = 9;
    this.SnapToGrid = true;
    this.Application.Options.DisplayGridLines = true;
}

Private Sub DocumentGridDistanceHorizontal()
    Me.GridOriginHorizontal = 80
    Me.GridOriginVertical = 90
    Me.GridDistanceHorizontal = 9
    Me.GridDistanceVertical = 9
    Me.SnapToGrid = True
    Me.Application.Options.DisplayGridLines = True
End Sub
