If these are placed near the top of a page I find that when the picture is inserted, if I then change the attributes of the picture, usually its size, the text box moves so its top edge is more or less at the top of the page (and I do not mean at the top margin). Attempts to reposition anywhere in the top half of the page seem to fail. Is there a way of fixing the box so it is anchored properly. This is so even where the anchor mark starts off on a lower paragraph.
