RE: Word 2007 - Placing Graphics - they won't go where I tell them to!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Graphics may snap to the document grid. You can hold the Alt key as you drag
them to override the grid.

Alternatively, you can turn off the grid entirely: On the Page Layout tab,
click Align, and then click Grid Settings. Clear the options to snap objects
to grid and/or to other objects.

In Word 2003, I could drag graphcs all over the page and they'd stay right
where I put them. In Word 2007, they seem to be snapping to something - but
I'm not sure what.

The graphics are set to Tight Wrapping (which I always used in 2003). Other
than that, I really don't know what to set.
