Default How to put pic in FIXED spot?

At times I try to move picture to a certain area in my text (I have the
wrapping set for TIGHT). Than when I try to move it a little further into a
certain direction, the picture jumps to the very edge of the document!! Very
frustrating!! Anybody who has a recomendation?

Thanks,

Rogier

Precise positioning with the mouse is iffy. Instead, right-click the picture,
click Format Picture, Layout tab, Advanced button, Picture Position tab.
On that dialog, set horizontal and vertical positioning as appropriate.

What TedMi says is great for very precise positioning. If it needs to be a bit less precise, you can try to keep the Alt key pressed while dragging the picture with yr mouse and see if the positioning is precise enough.
