Sure! Save it as a command. Open a new canvas. Set up the grid the way
you want it. In the History panel you'll see a line labeled 'Edit Grid.'
Click on it to select it, then click on the menu expander icon at the
top right of the History panel. Choose Save as Command. Give the command
a name you can recognize it by, like 20x20-pixel grid. Click on OK.
Best regards,

For a fun variation, you should also check out Phireworx's "Dynamic Guides"
extension for Fireworks MX. It is part of the Iata extension set, which is a
free download from http://www.phireworx.com.

This sucks! Can't I just modify some Default-Settings, so that
erverytime I create a new file, I have the grid right away?
