Why WYSIWYG when you can TCSR (type, compile, swear, repeat)
More like WISIMOLWIG (with a few S for swearing sprinkled in)
Used LaTex in my previous life. Still reminisce those good old day, while I curse MS Word.
I wrote so much technical documentation in LaTeX when I started Unix and Linux in the 90s, I sometimes wonder why I don't use it any more.
Maybe because I don't write much stuff nowadays.
Right here!

make it not form the text around it, then you can drag it wherever the hell you want.
IMO the default should be one of the text wrapping options.
Eh, depends. I once had a document with lots of tables. I pasted another table into this document. Suddenly all regular text became bold and vice versa. If I made anything bold or non-bold after this, all the tables moved to the top left corner of the first page, on top of each other. Word did some weird stuff sometimes. We eventually threw in the towel and used LaTeX.
Still sometimes manages to break paging and elements are bumped up or down without any rhyme or reason. It's hell.
Use a table.
If it doesn't work on my desk I don't see how moving to the table will help.
And now we're back in 90s with HTML programming...
Use flexbox
Paaaaain. Thanks to God I discovered LaTeX and other text editing languages (like groff), I'll never look back.
Yeah, formatting is never a pain in latex :/
Been a while since I've used Word. If I recall correctly, you can hold Alt while dragging an image to make it act correctly. Oddly enough, I think I learned that trick from when I was really into the sims

Clever
Formatting in Word is so easy.
If this issue from 1997 is still affecting you, you probably still use Internet Explorer.
Skill issue.
Yeah? Well that's just like, your opinion, man..
For real though, formatting in word is a nightmare of ribbon-esque proportions.
It's not just him. I format documents using Word pretty fine too. I use styles, headers, auto table of content, page breakers, all that stuff.
At the end of the day, Word is just an instrument. And pretty powerful, I must say. It also has learning curve not so steep as LaTeX.
I know it is a shitpost, but man.
Changing the picture's text wrapping is just 3 clicks away.
Word formatting really isn't that difficult.
