Default Position Pictures (or Drawing Canvas) in Print View of Word

I have a document that has text plus a pictures that takes up a full page
(margin to margin) that I'm having problems laying out. As a simple example,
let's discuss a document that have 2-3 pages of text and one margin to margin
picture. Also, I assume that what works for a picture will also work for a
drawing canvas, so both terms are considered interchangeable in this
discussion.

Let the first page be all text. Within one of the paragraphs is a word
which I'll call a bookmark word. (If an actual bookmark is needed there and
does the trick, that's ok.) I want the picture to appear on the next page
after that bookmark word appears, even if the paragraph is split across two
pages and the bookmark word is on the second page. And remember, this is for
a print layout; I could care less about the other views as they are
extraneous and irrelevant to my needs.

The beahvior must include the ability to maintain this type of print layout
if text (or other pictures) are added before that bookmark word. The text is
expected to shifts appropriately and the picture must always be on the page
that follow the bookmark word no matter what. The text should automatically
flow around the picture without my having to intervene or even think about
it. No white space should ever appears.

For some reason, Word 2003 doesn't want to do that for me, and I don't
understand why it is so hostile. It worked fine in old versions of Word
Perfect years ago. Why can't I do that in Word, which should be a superior
product?
