A very bizarre way to do this. You can use page/column breaks instead of
filling a space with useless empty paragraphs. You can insert images In Line
With Text instead of anchored to a paragraph, but even if you float the
graphic, if your wrapping is set to Square, the text will not overwrite it.
For text that you want to overwrite graphics, you can use text boxes (No
Line, No Fill) for inline graphics, or you can insert text, properly
formatted with Space Before/After with the graphic set to Behind Text.
