If the project specs don't specifically call for text boxes, you might find
it easier to use an unbordered table. Put a picture in one cell and the
caption in another. Or leave the pictures In Line With Text and use ordinary
text for the captions.
If you really want the text in text boxes and pictures you can drag around
at will, then you need to change the wrapping on the pictures to something
other than In Line With Text (Square is a good choice). Do that by clicking
on the Text Wrapping button (Dog icon) on the Picture toolbar that appears
when you select the picture.

I'm trying to help my sons on a school project which requires text boxes
and
corresponding pictures. We seem to get the boxes where we want them, but
then we can't get the curser in the correct spot to place the pictures.
We
also can't move the picture where we want them.
Also on one page I couldn't get the curser to go below the box in order to
start a new page in the document.
We're all frustrated and the project is due tomorrow.
Thanks
