Sometimes I find it easier to place a graphic in a blank document, set the
text runaround and then copy the graphic into my working file. In Word 2003,
insert your graphic into the blank document, then right click the mouse over
the graphic, select 'format graphic', select the 'size' tab, set to 100%,
click on 'layout' tab, pick 'square', then click the 'advanced' button, in
the 'text wrapping' tab use the numbers at the bottom to make the text
runaround around your graphic, then in the 'picture position' tab, set both
'absolute position' to 'page' (this last step anchors the graphic into
position on the current page instead of flowing with the text). Then copy and
past into your working document and everything should flow around the graphic
and you should be able to shove it easily around the page. You can also set
the graphic to 'inline', instead of 'square' if you want it to flow with the
text. Remember the picture gets anchored wherever the cursor is in your text,
so you may see the graphic move as your text moves to make room for the
graphic, this is sort of what is happening to you. You can set all the above
settings on grouped graphics as well. You have to redo all the settings when
you group a bunch of graphics, at least in my experience.
