Default Pictures snapping to grid

I'm trying to make slight adjustments to pictures I am putting in a word
document, however, they keep snapping to some invisible grid. I can't seem
to get it to move to exactly where I want it. There only seems to be help in
the drawing or graphics and charts area for this. This is just a picture
placed on a Word document.

Hi Steve,

Hold down the Alt key while you drag the graphics to ignore the grid. Or you
can change the grid to your preference by displaying the Drawing toolbar and
clicking Draw Grid.

Thanks, Jay. I was looking for draw along the top menu and it didn't show
up, but now I see the draw toolbar at the bottom of the page and it has just
what I was looking for. Thanks.
