I Want Pictures Where *I* Want, Not Where Word Wants!

[My-Kl]

I just want to put images into a Word document and for them to go where I drag them, not go firing off and appearing on different pages. I've tried dragging the anchor but when I release it, it goes and hides on a different part of the page or a different page altogether.
I also want the pictures to have a border with a text label underneath (but still inside the border). I've tried text boxes but the picture turns pure white when I try and put it inside. If I put it over the top of the box it mostly works but the last picture I added wouldn't go anywhere near it. I've tried tables but those little bastards won't behave either. If I even look at the picture wrong the table collapses so it's only as big as the text and the picture hangs out the bottom with the text hiding behind it.



I can't find a solution online, what the hell do I do? I've been struggling with this problem since last century!
