Turning on the gridlines will make it easier to move fields around the layout to see how they will line up with the fields that are already on the report.

Under the developer tab there is an option to show the template in design mode. Once this change is made you will see the field display that is on the template along with the content control of the field. This makes the report a little more difficult to read and doesn’t need to be turned on, but when we get to deleting fields on the template it can be useful.
