With a pic selected, go to the Format tab and you can use the Position button and choose a setting, or use the Word Wrap button and choose either Square or Tight and then drag the pic to the desired location. It should stay where you drop it. You might want to have a bit of text in the doc before you worry about the pic location.

You cannot email a page of a doc. You can however select the content of a page, paste it into a new doc and send that. (or paste it into the body of the email if you use Outlook)

I think it will be great! Word is definitely the product I would use for this.
