I have Word 2007. How do I turn off snap to grid for tables? Thanks.

You can try holding down the Alt key while dragging the table, which also works
for drawing shapes. However, I find that it doesn't work very well, especially
for horizontal positioning, because Word keeps trying to apply Left or Center
positioning instead of putting the table where you drop it.

The most reliable method is actually to enter numeric positions in the dialog.
When the cursor is in the table, click the Layout tab under Table Tools. At the
left, click the Properties button. In the dialog, click the Positioning button
(which is active only if the wrapping is set to Around). In the sections for
horizontal and vertical position, the dropdowns contain choices such as Left,
Center, Right, Top, Bottom and so forth, but you can type measurements in inches
(in or "), centimeters (cm), or points (pt). For example, the table can be
placed horizontally at 1.15cm relative to the margin and vertically at 18.54pt
relative to the paragraph (meaning the paragraph containing the table's anchor).
