Using the Alignment Grid
You can display a grid to help you position text and objects. The
visible grid is not part of the title, and NewsCutter does not store it
when you save the title.
Displaying a Grid
To display a grid:
t Choose Show Alignment Grid from the Alignment menu.
Snapping to a Grid
The snap grid is an invisible grid that helps position and connect
objects. The snap grid has four lines for each line in the visible grid.
Each square in the grid is subdivided by four invisible vertical and
horizontal grid lines. Text and objects can snap to these lines.
To snap to a grid:
t Choose Align to Grid from the Alignment menu.
When you create or drag an object in the Title tool, the object snaps
to the nearest grid line.
Bringing the Title Tool to the Foreground
If the Title tool becomes obscured by another window, you can instruct
NewsCutter to redisplay the tool.
To bring the Title tool to the foreground:
t Choose Title Tool from the Windows menu.
