Default Margins versus text box

Although you can use linked text boxes to have text flow from page to page,
Word is not really very good at desktop publishing; that would be
accomplished more easily with a page layout application.

I am a novice in formatting/desktop publishing. I would like divide
each page into two zones, left side text and right side for pictures
in frames with captions i do not want the text to roll/wrap over to
the right side of the page. I do not know anything about text boxes
or linking text boxes, so was thinking I could just increase the right
marginm but do not know if that will prevent me from inserting frames
for pictures or create other problems down the road.

The free templates I have found seem to complicated, too much graphics
or other style settings.

appreciate some suggestions whether I need to go to text box route or
if there is an easier, way.
