Word objects still anchored to text when "Fix position on page" is selected!?

Anchor is set to a paragraph and not to certain words or sentence in a paragraph.

For eg: You have a paragraph about birds. You insert an image of birds.

You may not anchor the image to this paragraph so that when you add text to previous pages and the paragraph moves to a different page, the image also moves along with it.

At the same time, if you move the image to a different page, the anchored paragragh also moves.

Here are some reference links:

If you lock the anchor, the graphic will move with the paragraph to which it is anchored. You can, in fact, anchor the graphic to a specific line or character or to a position relative to the first line of the paragraph. The graphic moves with the paragraph and not the other way around. You can also insert a graphic in a paragraph In Line With Text, so that it becomes part of the text flow of the paragraph.

But what Matthias is asking is to have a text box anchored to the page such that text will flow around it and it will stay on the same page without being anchored to a specific paragraph. This cannot be done. The position can be specified relative to the page, but the graphic will still move with the anchor paragraph (to the same position on the page where the anchor paragraph resides).

Note that Word has always been different from page layout software.

Then, Suzanne, with all due respect:  FIX THIS ISSUE!  I have been using Microsoft Word for >15 years now, and I am more lost and confused than ever.  That is no exaggeration.  I can't even move an object on the page without it destroying the formatting somewhere else in the document.   

Almost everyone in the science community has moved over to LaTex because they can't make sense of Word.  It is really telling when scientists and engineers cannot grasp formatting in "common sense" program after so many years.  

Someone at Microsoft, I am pleading: PLEASE MAKE WORD MAKE SENSE!  I'm not asking for which youtube video to watch, or what "help" section to read.  The platform is good.  Don't add a thing.  No more add-ons, or options.  Just work on what you have.

Now, I'm worried how you'll take this suggestion, but here goes:  Please, make formatting in Word Intuitive.   

I say i'm worried because Microsoft seems to have their own ideas about what "intuitive" means (e.g. Windows 8 fiasco, and so, so many more).  So let me help define what it means to the greater public (i.e. your customers):  It means that when I make a picture larger, it does not move into the adjacent column or onto the next page, it simply GETS BIGGER.   Another example, when I insert a table, find the perfect position on the page, then lock its position in the top right corner of page 4, I want the position to LOCK IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF PAGE 4!!!!  Lock means LOCK!   

Someone get these guys a dictionary.   

Sorry to take his out on you Suzanne, I know it's not your fault, but I'm tired and angry, and it's been building for such a long time.
