Since then I noticed that you can even use this trick without changing the grid size (and hence without the need to use any special stationery) simply because with any kind of grid on, once you have pulled the JPEG onto a grid point, it is very quick and easy to drag it to the origin (which is also a grid point). The advantage of the stationery method is that you can have the grid switched on in the stationery document.
