For coordinate settings, use Character mode. We use a character cell setting of width 8, and height 17.

While these settings were used keeping in mind that we might need to go to text mode, we never actually did, so they might not be right.

Also when developing the canvas layout, keep the grid snap on while positioning fields on the canvas.
