Hi Gordon,

This is a known issue, and the only practical approach I've found is, as far as practicable, do all the text stuff first, then start inserting and positioning pictures from the front of the document. If you start adding/reformatting text after inserting the pictures, that may cause any pictures after the edited range to shift; the same applies to inserting new pictures ahead of any that have already been inserted. The alternative is to insert them in-line as you go, then change the wrap formatting once there's no more text editing to do before the images - and always work from the start to the end of the document.
