When I try to move (float) a graphic in Word 2007 it jumps (usually up) from where I try to place it. I have read alot of ideas but nothing to solve this one. I can move a graphic but never get it to stay EXACTLY where I "drop" it. It just jumps to another (usually nearby) position. The "snap to grid" is off. Any ideas?

Word 2007 Graphics Keep Jumping Around
- Thread starter MechMan
- Start date
I'm not up to date with Word 2007, but in my experience drawing objects obey positioning instructions better if you turn off "move object with text" (assuming it's on).
Go to [tt]Format>Picture...>Layout>Advanced...[/tt]
Word 2007 probably moved all this around, so you might have to explore. Even if using the arrow keys to nudge something into position doesn't work, you can probably force it by explicitly setting "[tt]Picture Position[/tt]" values. I've always found that graphics that are placed across the margins of the headers and footers cause the most trouble.
