    this.GridOriginVertical = 90;
    this.GridDistanceHorizontal = 9;
    this.GridDistanceVertical = 9;
    this.SnapToGrid = true;
    this.Application.Options.DisplayGridLines = true;
}

Private Sub DocumentGridDistanceHorizontal()
    Me.GridOriginHorizontal = 80
    Me.GridOriginVertical = 90
    Me.GridDistanceHorizontal = 9
    Me.GridDistanceVertical = 9
    Me.SnapToGrid = True
    Me.Application.Options.DisplayGridLines = True
