Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) When working with PowerPoint for mac slides (adding textboxes, graphics, etc.), I have these two very thin lines the cross each other on the screen, thin light blue (?) lines that cross each other. They are very distracting.
Mar 17, 2008 - MS office 2008 - mac - powerpoint - grid lines. Hot key Command + G. To add more lines drag your mouse over the original gridline (and in an. I want to create a sudoku-like square grid in the PowerPoint, but I can't find a simple way to do it. I can't precisely adjust the cell size with the table tool, and it is hard to align other graphs with the cells.
How do I get rid of them. I can move them almost off screen (the one vertically and the other horizontally), but they are still there. I don't know what they're for or how they started appearing. Please somebody help. CyberTaz 2/4/2010, 9:42 น. CyberTaz/Bob Jones, THANKS!
Actually, under view and guides, it's the 'static guides' (control G), not the dynamic ones, I guess. I unchecked the 'static guides,' and it worked! Happy Easter!
Chuck It sounds like you're referring to the Dynamic Guides intended to assist in alignment/positioning of objects relative to one another. I'm not at a Mac to verify, but I believe they cna be turned off in the View menu. If notcheck in PPT's Help on the topic of 'guides'.

But neither can be 'locked' in Mac PPT. Was the file created or edited using a Windows version, perhaps? Selecting 'Static Guides' provides one vertical & one horizontal cyan guide which bisect the slide layout at the midpoint. Those can be moved but cannot be removed by dragging. Additional ones created from them should be removable by dragging them to the edge of the layout & releasing. All guides are turned off when the 'Static Guides' feature is turned off. If you're experiencing different behavior confirm that Office 2008 is fully updated (12.2.4).
Do the same for whatever flavor of OS X you're using. Unfortunately, PPT 2008 doesn't provide the ability to adjust the increments of the underlying grid or to display it. All control is what you see in the View Guides menu. HTH :) Bob Jones MVP Office:Mac On 4/15/10 11:51 AM, in article [email protected].
