I don't have a detailed technical article at my fingertips, but the easy way
to tame graphics in Word is to right-click the graphic object, select "Format
Picture" (or Format Object), and then under the Layout tab, select "Inline
With Text." Then it stays where your cursor was when you inserted it.

Can somebody advise me on a detailed technical article(s) on handling
inserted graphic objects in Word, like plots, graphs, photos, etc? Once I put
them in, they seem to have a life of their own and a strong opinion on the
place they want to stay in or unexpectedly and unpredictably move around
creating me a lot of grief. I just want to tame them; such that they stay
together with their legends in the place in document, I want them to be.
Every time I am fighting with MS Word, always knowing things better (the
Word that is), I wish it had some of the LaTeX capabilities.
