Thanks for the reply.

I've had another look at this. The grid spacing options are in the main 
'Options' menu, although the forms stuff has a local facility to turn 
off grid.

I still find the grid unusably faint though, even with a colour change. 
It must be an optical illusion, but the grid seems fainter the more I 
expand the screen image to get better accuracy. It seems quite dark with 
small scales, all but invisible at expanded scales.

The other issue is that, yes, it does snap horizontally to the grid. 
Vertically however it seems to snap to positions between the grid 
points, taking two unequal steps to move between snap locations. Most odd.
