Default Add pictures in specific parts of the document and resize them automatically - MS Word 2013

Hi all,

I'm new here and this is my very first time posting in this forum

I've been trying to do something with a document that sounds simple but I don't know how to make everything that I'm expecting work at the same time.

I have some sort of standard type of report in the company that I work, and need to add pictures to it. So what I want to do is to add 3 boxes in a certain page where I can insert the picture in a predefined frame and fixed height (the width can change, depending on the image's aspect ratio), and also maintain its position on the page.

I have tried using a one-cell table for each image, with fixed dimensions and predefined the frame, and when I did that, the image wouldn't fit perfectly within the cell.
I also have tried to add a Picture Content Control for each image (so I could click the icon and add the picture that I want), which I had a really hard time to put in a position that I wanted (dragging the content control didn't work, looks like the icon "Picture" above the box can't be moved), setting the frame and the height, but when I add the picture, I have to manually change the dimensions again and after I do that, the image goes to a different position.

Any ideas regarding this issue?

Thanks in advance!
