If this happens with a particular document, only, it might be corrupt.

Have you tried copying the content, minus the final paragraph mark (¶), into
a new document? (To show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting
marks, click the ¶ button on the Home tab.)

I have been successfully inserting images in Word 2007 for years.

Today, some (not all) of the images will not text-wrap correctly. The
text that starts above the image location will appear in front of the
image, if the wrap is set to anything except for "In Line". The text
that starts where the image is will wrap correctly. If the wrap is
changed to In Line and then back to Square _sometimes_ the text will
_display_ correctly but when printed, will print over the image. The
next time the document is opened, (even on a different computer) the
text overlaps the image.

When anything is done to the image while it is in Word, such as adding
text or shapes to it, the problem will then appear on that image.
When text or shapes are added, I then "group" image and the shape and
text so they can be moved as a unit. Otherwise, moving the image or
adding text will result in the shape remaining in the same location on
the page while the image moves to another location.

A work-around is to copy the image into Paint, and then copy it back
into Word. Then wrap then works as it should...for now at least.

BTW, a "grouped" image with shapes will not completely copy into Paint.
Not all of the text in the single text box copies over. :-(

What to do about the wrapping?
