WORKAROUND
To force the Freeform and Curve tools to snap to grid, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the AutoShapes menu, point to Lines, and then click the Freeform drawing tool.
 * 2) Draw a small freeform shape.
 * 3) Press DELETE to delete the shape that you created.

You can now draw a freeform or curved path that snaps to grid.
