I moved to Libre Office because Open Office was hopeless with handling images. I found that Libre Office 7.04 worked quite well. So I have downloaded the latest version 7.05 and it is causing all the same problems with placing and sizing images that open Office had. In other words the latest upgrade has gone backwards. I find myself thinking that I might as well use Microsoft Word because it is at least stable. Libre Office latest version is F****d.
And don’t tell me to look at the help files. they give no help at all when it comes to loading pictures.
This clearly explains your problems with image positioning.
If you want same effect as Word then anchor images As character
