I had a similar problem recently with a document in which I was trying 
to insert about 15 pictures. It was okay until I wanted three pictures 
side by side on the same page. Every time I tried to resize a picture or 
move it slightly, it suddenly moved to another page. When I tried to 
move it back, all kinds of things weird things happened. I think it has 
to do with my anchoring settings, especially since all three pictures 
were anchored to the same place, but since I just had to get the project 
done and didn't have time to play with it, I imported it all into LyX 
and finished it there. Later, I'll go back into LO to learn how to do it 
right.

I sense that LO's wysiwyg approach makes things a little more complex. I 
even tried my document with pictures in a markdown editor and found it 
worked better there than in LO.

Again, I'm sure a lot of has to do with my lack of knowledge of this 
part of LO.
