In previous versions of Word, dragging the corner of an image locked the
aspect ratio (i.e. didn't squish or stretch the image). This no longer
happens.
It appears the only way to lock the ratio is to hold down Shift. I think
this is a big mistake - this is not obvious at all. In 95% of the cases,
people don't want to alter the aspect ratio - e.g. company logos, photos,
screenshots etc. It's hard enough getting people to do this correctly when
corner dragging worked ok - now nearly everyone with unintentionally mess up
the images unless they know the 'secret'. Few things look more
unprofessional than a distorted image, especially corporate logos!
