How do I make an image palce holder in Word which allows me to insert a
picture from a file into a document template and have the picture
automatically ajusted to 4 x 6 and placed in the loaction I want?
 
Prepare the picture before importing it into Word. Set the size to 4 x 6 and
the resolution to whatever you have Word defaulting to (normally 96 dpi).
 
Another alternative is to insert a one-cell table in Word, and click Table >
AutoFit > Fixed Column Width. Set the cell's size to 4 x 6 either by
dragging its edges or in the Table > Table Properties dialog. You can turn
off the border lines by pressing Ctrl+Alt+U or in the Format > Borders &
Shading dialog. Insert the picture in the cell, and it will be sized to fit
in the cell.

If your version of Word has an "Insert/paste pictures as" dropdown in the
Tools > Options > Edit dialog, set it to "In line with text"; otherwise,
you'll have to select the picture after you paste it and use the Text
Wrapping button on the Picture toolbar to make it inline.

They do if you crop or stretch them that way.

I phrased that poorly. I should have said that no all pictures have a 4 x 6
proportion without manipulation.

(Good catch.)
