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.

    Use the Size Controls in the Size section of the Picture Format tab of the ribbon.
