Bob,

Nice idea, but I can't find view gridline toggle. I looked carefully in the
grid, toggle, and view areas of the list but don't see it. Do you recall
exactly what it's called?

Thanks,
Elbert

Hi Elbert,

If you're using a tablet you may find it easier
to use Tools=Customize Commands and from the
'All Commands' category drag the View Gridline
toggle to a toolbar where you can click/tap
it.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your helpful reply. You're right--insert/paste pictures is
"in-line with text" by default, and if I change that things happen as you say
they will.

I've taken your suggestion to make alt-g toggle the grid lines. It would be
cooler if they would just go away when I leave the canvas (especially as I'm
doing some work with a tablet pc, and alt-g isn't quite as convenient to hit
as when you're using a keyboard), but turning them on and off with alt-g is
an improvement over working my way through the menus.

Thanks again,

Elbert
