Quick Fix

[tkosel]

I have a word Document with about a million (Exaggerated!) screen shots of an
application in it. Pasted from a PrintKey capture. Each shot had a small
area in it that had a red foreground text message on a grey background that
was on top of a blue area. I need to cover this up with some blue, on all
the screen shots. I don't want to re-capture all the screen shots.

I tried copying a small area of the blue and pasting it in and overlaying it
on top of the area. This is really hard, as when I crop the pasted blue area
to adjust for the different sizes, it "snaps" to some sort of an alignment
and will not cover the desired area exactly. I have set the format of the
layout of the pasted graphic to be in front of the text, but it still snaps.
I have tried adjusting the font size to a small size to facilitate, but still
cannot get the adjustment I need. It would be nice if the pasted graphic
didn't "snap".

Any suggestions?

Press and hold the Alt key while cropping or dragging to
temporarily turn off snap.

You can turn off the grid (on the Drawing toolbar, Draw | Grid) or override
it by pressing Alt while dragging.
