Default Wandering text box

I added a text box to a full page of text in a very long document . The box
is about 4" square and is positioned at the top right of the print portion of
the page (not in the margins). Before filling the box I set the attribute to
have the text wrap around the box which occurred quite nicely.

I then set the focus to the interior of the box and attempted to add a .jpg
image in the box using InsertPictureFrom File...[ref to .jpg file].

The picture goes in just fine but the text box jumps to the prior page. I
cannot move the box back to the original location as it always jumps to the
prior page.

I have tried turning off the move with text attribute. I have tried
assigning an absolute location, and in fact I've twiddled every attribute on
the format text box advanced options.

Why does this occur and how can I prevent this action?

Thanks for your help.
