Problem of resizing images on Microsoft Word for Mac

When I drag the corner of the images on Microsoft Word to enlarge or reduce the size of them, Word does not function properly and the image just glitches - it turns upside down, becomes super large in an instant when I drag it inwards to reduce its size, etc. This is so frustrating! I have never encountered this problem before until I started to use it on a Macbook instead of a Windows laptop/desktop.

Same issue. ver. 16.62 MS Office for Mac. No dynamic visuals while dragging image/object handles, inserting simple shape objects would start out HUGE (96 inches), re-sizing existing images by click-dragging handles jumped the size up as well. No dynamic visual when moving objects/images. Quitting Grammarly Desktop solved the issue.

    If you stop Grammarly or use a mouse the problem is solved.

    Surely this is not that hard to figure out?

    You very well may be right but it's for the developers of Grammarly to resolve if they haven't yet done so. Make sure everything is fully updated & visit Grammarly support.
