     Perhaps you should anchor you pictures when you insert 
them.
My way to do this:
     1) When I complete the paragraph before the place for 
a picture to be inserted, I use the Enter key to create an 
empty
          paragraph.
     2) I insert the picture.
     3) I right click the picture to open a context menu, 
selecting Anchor > As Character.
     4) I use the Enter key again to go to the beginning of 
the next paragraph before adding more text.

     This works for me for documents containing over 15,000 
words and at least 50 pictures.
      And remember, no two office suites are going to do 
things the same way. What works well for one may not work 
very well at all for another. (You have different people 
writing the code for the programs meaning they have 
different ideas as to how their program should work.)
