Moving Position of Table on a Page

I notice when I try to move a table to a specific area on a page it usually
jumps only to certain areas. I highlight the table and click on the X in the
left hand corner and drag the table but it seem to jump around not go where I
want it to. Is there a trick to doing this. I am using Word 2003.

Thanks in advance for your help.

As with many drawing objects, too, try holding the Alt key while you drag.
