OOo 3 on Win XP Pro 64

What is the preferred way to insert a graphic in relation to some text?
What I currently do is:
 - position the cursor in some text (or at a blank paragraph)
 - Insert > Picture > From file (browse to find .jpg or .png file)
 - grab the lower-right corner of the inserted picture and shrink it to
desired size.

When I'm inserting graphic items into table cells, what conditions would
cause the graphic to extend outside the boundaries of its cell,
triggered (usually) when I make a change in another cell lower in the
table?

I can usually get around it by resizing things, including stretching the
cell boundary, but later on, I'll add or delete something in another
cell (same column, always) and a graphic item will suddenly overflow its
cell and overlay the text or graphics in the following cell or two.

It's such a touchy/jumpy unpredictable (to me) situation that I assume
I'm doing something wrong. I'm doing nothing that's not permitted by the
OOo interface. So what's the problem?  I can't afford unstable
documents, so I need to start getting this right.   Any help out there?
