[libreoffice-users] Correcting reflow problems causes overlay

I am trying to update a book and adding new material causes the pages to reflow.  So far as I know
there is no style; this has been created over many years and many different word processors.

When I add new material drawings and photos move down, often on top of the bottom margin of the
page.  As I reposition them the existing text disappears under the image and the captions come apart
from the images.  Using the drop down and also the properties menus for the current container to set
the location and padding does not resolve  the problem, even though I have ensured that the "Allow
Overlay" option is not checked.  Usually when this happens the anchor icon is not showing on the
screen, that is the anchor does not move with the container. Clicking on the "Align Objects" list
using "right" then "left" (or vice versa) only causes the image to move a few millimetres suggesting
that the area in use is internal to the containing box but I can't see  any way to adjust that.

This may be a legacy problem, I agree, but can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

John
