Suggestion: When inserting pictures, create an empty paragraph. Insert
a frame in this paragraph, and insert the picture or pictures in the
frame. Anchor both the frames and these pictures "As Character". You
should also create a paragraph style for your frames so that you can
align them horizontally uniformly. This also permits you to have a
border around each frame if you like or no border.
The document guides for LibreOffice contain pictures in the
hundreds with no apparent problem inserting and anchoring pictures.

I tried *some* of your suggestions when I was fighting with it. I
discovered the frame styles, which helped a bit. I also tried anchoring
to character, but I'm not convinced it helped. (Part of my problem now
is that I tried so many things, I was changing too many variables to be
able to isolate the ones that worked).
I also wanted an automated caption under each picture (Illustration 1,
Illustration 2, etc.). I discovered that I could do that automatically,
but when I did, LO created two frames, one for the picture, and one for
the caption. The picture frame was placed on top of the caption frame.
But, when I tried to move the picture, they became separated, and I
ended up moving the picture without the caption frame.
I'll keep playing with it because I know it's more about my
understanding than the abilities of the program. Thanks for the suggestions.
