Hi erincon23,

You should only ever convert pictures to anything other that in-line (and only if necessary) once all the text editing is finsihed; otherwise, when the paragraphs to which images are anchored lower down in the document move (even to different pages/columns), they are liable to push the pictures to unexpected locations. This is an unavoidable consequence of the text-reflowing that Word does.
