Word document question?
I want to crop an image on Microsoft word, by a couple of milimetres. No matter how much I move my mouse, the image crops by a minimum of 10 millimetres. There's no in-between -- no matter how slow or delicately I move the mouse.
Come to think about it, the same thing happens when placing images onto the page and trying to move them around, and also when moving columns to the left or right. You can either move too far, or not at all.
Does anyone know a way around this? Or even why this is?

I use an image editing program such as PhotoShop to edit my pictures first, then put them into Word. If you do not want to spend any money on an image editor try Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/ It is completely free, open source and should let you edit as you like.
The editor inside Word and the other MS Office products is very basic and limited.

this has been a maddening problem for me too. i don't know why it happens. one thing i do to get around it is use the drawing tools. it you want to cover something up a lot, draw a rectangle, give it white line color and fill, and move it over the edge you want to cover. if you need to do something like you're describing-a couple of millimeters, draw a line a little longer than the edge you want to cover, give it white color, and select a line thickness that will do what you need
