Microsoft Word can't to move images with pixels accuracy, in it documents?

When i try to move any pasted image in document, i very often i need to move images with pixels accuracy.

For example in attached file, you can see digits (it's text), and blue circles. For example i need to move circles so, that digits was at center of circles.

And when i try to move circle (image) for doing digits alignment at center, it don't move at pixels, but per one up move it skip 5-10 pixels, and i can't to install my images into document so, so it required

Please, help me to fix this problem. Or really Microsoft Word so stupid, that it can't do it?

I tried to search this setting at Microsoft Word, search at Internet, i have found no one page, where some one have this issue

 
The blurring of applications from one of purpose to one of means is, I think, a very unfortunate trend. It is especially noticeable in Microsoft Office apps.

Just because Word has the means to be a HTML writing application, it is not its real purpose. The purpose of Word is to be a word-processor. It is a poor HTML writing application, even though it has the means to be one. I simply wish they would just focus on what it does well...word-processing.

I know as things "advance" multi-purpose applications have become the norm. However, I do not personally feel something (an application "feature") is always good, simply because it can.

I still use Eudora for email, as it is an email client. That is all it does...which is all I want it to do. I don't want it to be a browser, I will use a browser for that. I hate that Word defaults as email editor for Outlook. I am sending text, why on earth do I need to load a large application like Word, when a simple text editor feature is all that is needed.

Yadda yadda yadda. Blathering, as usual. Tired.

The one that really irritates me is when people don't seem to understand the difference between a bitmap and an object based drawing.

It's so tragic to watch a decent scaleable drawing (line-drawing etc.) moved into Photoshop ("because that's the real professional drawing package"), turned into a bit map, shrunk, expanded, twiddled about with, and finally regurgitated at 600dpi with obvious pixelation at 10 anti-aliassed-blobs-per-inch.

Just don't get me started on black-and-white line drawings stored as grey-scales, or worse, as colour images.

No, that is true. Bitmap versus Vector graphic. A concept that appears beyond scope of most. All bitmaps are specific information regarding separate and specific pixels in a grid, and are resolution dependent. Sitting there as a file, there is NO information about the relationship of pixel_A to pixel_B, even if they are beside each other.

All manipulation of pixels (by whatever application) comes from guessing algorithms, with some better than others.

Vector graphics are information totally about relationships, not pixels, and thus scalable.

I once had a long on-going intense argument with someone who insisted that JPG files are not bitmaps. Uh, sorry, but JPG files are bitmaps. They are information about pixels, thus bitmaps. Maps of the bits.

"But it does not end with .BMP!"

"Neither does .GIF, but they are bitmaps as well."

Oh well. heck i am still trying to get some people to understand the concept of folders and files.....

Ah! "Vector graphics". Yes, that was the phrase I was searching for. Having a bit of a senior moment yesterday. Thanks!
