Include alignment rule feature for moving tables and other objects
Hello,
I've got a suggestion for Office. I often find that moving tables (among other objects like text box etc.) are hard to align because Word gives you free hand in moving the object. I would like to see better alignment features, like those available in the WinForms Designer of Visual Studio 2005. I hope this will be considered for Office 12 or its successor. Any questions can be mailed to Kind regards, David van Leerdam ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

This functionality is already in Word, in the Drawing Grid dialog box.
On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw, and then click Grid. Select the "Snap objects to grid" option. Specify the desired Vertical and Horizontal Spacing. You can even display the grid, if you want to (the "Display gridlines on screen" option). When you are done, click OK. Note that the spacing is document-specific, but if you click the Default button you can add it to the template attached to the current document. On the other hand, the Snap to options are application-wide (they are turned on for all documents until you turn them off). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Freek Versteijn" wrote in message ...

Correction: I meant to say that the *display* option is application-wide. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Freek Versteijn" wrote in message ...
