When you have graphics with text wrapping you need to understand the complexities of HOW Word gets its instructions for positioning that graphic. Just turning on wrapping and dragging it around the page means you are not considering the possibilities.
Firstly, floating shapes can be positioned in a wide variety of ways. By default it is relative to the vertical and horizontal position of an anchoring paragraph. If you right click the photo and choose Size and Position the Layout dialog will appear. On that dialog you have a tab for Text Wrapping but the more important one is the Position tab. On the Position tab, you should explore the settings to see that the position can be relative to the various parameters like paragraph, column, margin, and PAGE. If you set the Horizontal and Vertical positioning relative to Page then the graphic will stay put. Now, despite me saying it is going to stay put, you also need to know that every floating graphic has an Anchor. The anchor is a hidden element that sits in a paragraph on that page. If you edit the text that causes THAT anchor paragraph to move onto another page, then the graphic will also move to stay on the same page as that anchor. You can usually see the anchor appear on screen when you select the graphic although you may need to change an option to show this if it doesn't appear.
