How do I control image position in Writer

I would like to position images right after a word (I’m doing a picture dictionary).
I tried changing the anchor, but the pictures seem to take their own life.
Anybody can help?
Many thanks

You need your image to be considered as a character. Choose anchor As Character.

However, it is difficult to move an image once it has been inserted (drag and drop does not work). The simplest way is to move text around it after you have set the anchor As Character.
