Formatting Pictures
Although pictures are inserted with default settings, you can change these settings at any time. You can change the size, alignment, fill color, and text wrapping style for inserted graphics.
The text wrapping style of a graphic determines if you can drag the object independently of the paragraph where it is positioned. The In line with text option allows you to position the graphic image anywhere within the document text. To be able to freely move an object on the page, you may have to select another text wrapping style.
