Question Text overlaps some images in Word 2007

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?
