To use the grid:
Choose Design>Options from the menu bar and select the General tab.
Do one or more of the following:
Select Snap to Grid to align controls with a horizontal and vertical grid when you place or move them
Select Show Grid to display the grid in the Layout view
Specify the width of each cell in the grid in pixels in the X text box
Specify the height of each cell in the grid in pixels in the Y text box
