Microsoft PhotoDraw includes options for aligning objects and laying out your picture:
Turn on picture guides By default, the picture guides are locked and invisible. If you want to use the guides to shrink or enlarge the picture area, you can unlock them. Lock or unlock picture guides
Drag picture guides After you've turned on the picture guides, you can drag them to resize the picture area. Resize the picture area by dragging picture guides
Snap objects to invisible gridlines You can use the grid, an invisible network of lines, to help you align shapes, lines, or other objects. By default, the grid is turned off. If you select Snap to Grid, objects that you drag on the picture area are aligned with the nearest intersection of gridlines. Snap objects to an invisible grid
Change gridline spacing You can change the vertical and horizontal spacing between invisible gridlines for all future pictures or for the active picture only. Doing so can help you align objects more precisely. Change the spacing of invisible gridlines
Check the position of objects By default, rulers appear along the top and left edges of the workspace. You can use these rulers to view the position of objects in the workspace. The highlighted area that appears on either ruler shows the location of the selected object on the picture area. Turn rulers on or off
Change unit of measure You can display a different unit of measurement ù for example, pixels instead of inches ù on the rulers and the status bar. Change the default unit of measurement
