I called Microsoft live-chat support but they were unfamiliar with this feature. I finally found the following on office.microsoft.com using Google and it worked.

Word
  1. Click the shape or object in the document.
  2. Under Drawing Tools on the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Align, and then click View Gridlines.

If you do not see the Drawing Tools or Format tabs, make sure that you selected a shape or an object.

 Notes 

  • To display only some gridlines, after clicking Align, click Grid Settings, and then under Show grid, click the number of gridlines that you want to display in the Vertical every or Horizontal every lists.
  • By default, shapes and other objects snap to the nearest intersection of gridlines only if the grid is visible. You can override this by selecting the check box.
