These settings let you enable snap-to grids, snap-to objects, adjust the size of the gridlines, and more. The most interesting to me, is the Use Margins option in the Grid Options section. In Word and PowerPoint, gridlines are for visual reference only and cannot be printed. If you want to print gridlines in Excel, see Print gridlines in a worksheet. To show the gridlines, in Excel, PowerPoint, or Word, click the View tab, and then check the Gridlines box. To hide the gridlines, clear the Gridlines check box.
