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.

    For me, a third-party app was causing the problem. I suggest closing any app you think might cause the issue, restart Word and check if the problem is solved.

    Hi Stacey

    I use a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) and Microsoft Word, the newest version, as I deleted the app and just reinstalled it but the issue hasn't been fixed. Is there anything you can suggest?
