IDE configuration

Hi all,

I'm just getting into WinForms in VS.NET and am having trouble locating
where to set a couple default behaviors that I hope exist. Any guidance
on...

- Turning off the "Snap to grid" that is forcing each control to align in
ways I don't want it to
- Setting default label appearance for the form. I dropped one label on the
form and set some font properties, now every subsequent label follows those
properties.

TIA,

John

Thanks, Carlos! Nothing like a new environment to make me feel stupid
again.
