Although it would be easier to offer specifics if you had mentioned what
version of Word you're using, it sounds like your pictures are inserted as
In Line With Text. You need to apply some form of Text Wrapping to them,
which makes them "float" and will allow you to drag them around and position
them [pretty much] as you wish. See Word Help for details.
Depending on what the overall design of your project is and how much of this
you intend to do, you may want to consider using MS Publisher of some other
page layout program if you have one available. I envision potential
frustration ahead if my concept of your document design is accurate
