I have a picture I have placed before text and I want to position the picture
only. I select the picture and hit the position absolutely button on the
pictures toolbar. When I do this, the text moves within the "absolute" box.
I do not know how to get it to not do this.

Don't use absolute positioning until you understand it. By setting the
image to be absolutely positioned, you have removed it from the flow of the
page, thus the text reacts as if the image were no longer there.

Where do you want to have the image located on the page?
