positioning pictures inserted into Word 2010 document

When inserting pictures into a Word 2010 document they always go to the top of the page, then I have to rag them to where I want them. This happens even though I have placed the cursor in the place where I want the picture before I start the insertion process. Is it possible in Word 2010 to have the picture go directly to the indicated place? Thanks for your help on this. gbwtlc
