And my advice on this is not to try to insert pictures at all until editing
is complete. Instead, insert a notation of where the picture will go:

[Insert Figure 1 about here]

[Photo of Grandmother goes here]

and the like. Then go back at the end and slot them in, being aware that
you'll have to make some compromises (in my current venture, I've had a
*lot* of compromises and an equal number of frustrations, whereby I've come
to more fully sympathize with other users' infuriation with Word's handling
of wrapped graphics). To the extent that you can put them inline (in table
cells if necessary), you'll retain more of your sanity.
