Default Corrupt graphics positions in Word after save,shut down,reopen

In a 30 page document, in landscape orientation, 2x Columns, with a linked
image on most pages, in Word 2003_I am finding that the position of many
pictures and hence text become displaced, some times to an adjacent page.This
happens after I have saved my perfected work, closed Word and then reopened
later. Protecting the file before Save does not help. All the graphics are
linked to but not embedded to the file which is about 1.5 MB in size. The
graphics, photos mostly, are located in a directory adjacent to the *.doc
file.
I am trying to get the layout stable before converting to a PDF file but I
cannot edit seriously in that format .
The text formatting used is a simple regular scheme but I do find deciding
the best for each image difficult when the layout keeps jumping about.
Advice on the best strategy greatly appreciated-Otherwise my family will
never learn their history!
