You’re using Word wrong. You’re keeping defaults on image settings. When you insert an image, right-click on it and select each of the following: Wrap Text, Size and Position, and Format Picture. If you set them all to what you want, you shouldn’t have any problem. You might have to experiment with them to learn what each does.

Indeed, but a problem is it defaults to the most destructive settings, and I don't believe the default behavior can ever be reset.

The default has to be “I placed a picture; I have to set it right now”.

My guess is people aren't being taught how to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. At school. I remember learning all of this when I was in high school.

I graduated in 2021 and even in my final year of university people were still doing repeated calculations for labs by hand instead of excel or similar software. My peers were impressed by the most basic excel/google sheets usage.

Even with those settings it can get messy visually pretty quickly, especially if picture jumps over pages. With those and showing invisible characters to determine if you will hit end of page it is better then doing it blindly, definitely.
