I find the easiest way of positioning anything is in Print Preview mode.
Put your graphic in a paragraph by itself.  Select that paragraph.  Select
"Position..." from the Format menu.  Adjust the various parameters rapidly.
Push the "Preview..." button.  This brings you in Print Preview mode, with
the second icon already selected, so you can move your graphic around on
the page with the mouse.  The text will then flow around your graphic.
