Hello,
 
I am looking for a grid in crystal which should help me in formatting or placing objects so that my reports should look more professional. I've been using the grid which is within designer both for design and preview. Please let me know how can I design and align objects using grid for better looking reports. Thanks

Not sure exactly what you are asking for.
There is the "snap to grid" option in Options.
You can also place either horizontal or vertical guidlines and then anchor objects off of them.
I find it is easier to just select multiple objects and use the 'Align' and 'Size' option.

Of couse you can also display the 'Grid' which displays evenly spaced dots on the screen (View, Grid, Design and/or Preview in CR XI).
