How to Turn Off Snap-to-Grid in PowerPoint

PowerPoint is a slide show application that allows you to create presentations. The application allows you to add charts and graphs to visually display your information. You can move these items around a presentation. When you drag-and-drop these items, they can automatically snap into place on the document's grid or sit exactly where you place them, depending on your snap-to-grid setting. You can disable this setting if you desire.

Instructions

1. Launch the PowerPoint document that you want to manipulate.

2. Click on the item in the worksheet.

3. Click the "Home" tab in the main "Drawing" group. Select "Arrange" and then click "Align." Scroll down and click "Grid settings."

4. Click "Snap objects to grid" to remove the check mark.
