How to insert a picture into a text box

I'm trying to insert a picture into a text box so that when the document is edited (frequently) the whole text box, with the picture and text relating to it, can be moved easily, but that the text relating to it can also be edited (so not including the text into the picture). They can both be there, and seem synched but when the document is edited they move independently and it takes a long time to get everything where it should be again.

    In addition to Stefan's suggestion, if you format the paragraph containing the picture so that it has the "Keep with next" attribute checked, the image and the textbox will always be kept together. I would use a one cell table instead of a Text Boxl.

    Indeed, using a table is often easier.

    You can insert the picture "In line with text" in the text box. That way, the picture will behave as a (large) text character.

    In the screen shot, the text box has a border, but of course you can remove the border, if you want to.
