These will all work, but you may find that it's because the frames for your
photos (or something else) are 'invading' the space of the text frame. For
instance, if you have one of your photo frames overlapping the text frame,
you need to turn the 'text flow' to 'none'. This will mean that the picture
does not cause text to wrap around it, and the text in the text frame will
be left where you put it.
Did that actually make the blind bit of sense?!
