The Logo That Won't Behave
You are laying out a two-page event programme. A logo was inserted with Insert > Pictures and now sits in the middle of the first paragraph, pushing text around it. You need the logo in the top-right corner with text flowing underneath, and it must stay in that corner if the paragraph above is edited. On page 2, a photo inserted the same way must sit behind a semi-transparent text box so the caption is readable. When you drag the logo, the whole paragraph jumps.
1. Why does dragging the logo move the paragraph, and how do you anchor it to the top-right corner?

The picture is inline, so it behaves like a character in the text and dragging it moves text. Change the wrap to a floating option: select the picture, then Layout Options (or Format > Wrap Text) and choose 'In front of text' or 'Square/Tight' with a fixed position. Set the anchor and use Position > More Layout Options to pin it to the top-right relative to the page or margin, so editing the paragraph above does not move it.
2. How do you make the page 2 photo sit behind a semi-transparent text box?

Insert the photo, set its wrap to 'Behind text', and position it where needed. Insert a text box over it, set the text box fill transparency (Format Shape > Fill > Transparency) so the photo shows through, and type the caption. Keep the text box in front (Bring to Front) and the photo behind (Send to Back). Verify the caption remains legible against the photo, adjusting transparency if contrast is poor.
3. What is the risk of using floating objects for a document that will be edited by others, and how do you reduce it?
Read the worked answer
Floating objects are anchored to a paragraph, so heavy editing can drag them to another page or overlap text. Reduce risk by anchoring to a stable paragraph, locking the anchor, and using position relative to page or margin rather than to a paragraph. After final edits, do a visual pass on every page, since layout problems from anchors are not flagged by spell check or the PDF export itself.
