I used to format each individual one to the correct size and position. When continuing to type these images would become distorted, disappear, or be cut in half across the page...extremely frustrating...
However....
This videos shows you how to drag and drop images into a word document without the images exploding across the page and nudging all your typing where you don't want it.
This method allows you to easily control the size of the images particularly when inserting a number of images into one document.

First, insert a table from the ‘table’ icon in the ‘INSERT’ tab. Your table can contain as many rows and columns as you want, but remember this will dictate how many images will be displayed on your page. At this stage you can adjust the margins if you need the images closer to the edge of your page. If your table doesn’t adjust to the margin change, just delete it and re-insert it (that’s why you should do it at this stage). It’s now time to adjust the size of your table cells to fit your images into. Select the table by clicking and dragging your cursor across the whole table or clicking the square at the top left corner of the table. In TABLE TOOL under the ‘Layout’ tab you will see the width and height boxes and it’s here you can enter your chosen sizes. You will need to play around with these measurements to suit your requirements. Once you have created the perfect table to insert images you can now remove the borders and only leave a faint dotted line that won’t appear when printed or saved as a PDF. To achieve this highlight the table as before and in the HOME tab click on ‘borders’ and a drop down menu will appear with border options, click on ‘no borders’. If your border completely disappear click on the same border tab again and go to the bottom and click on ‘show gridlines’. You should now see a faint border lines.
Now this is where the crucial part takes place. You have to tell Word NOT TO MOVE THE TABLE BORDERS AND SET THEM IN STONE….RIGID….WITHOUT MOVING. Highlight the table once again, go to TALE TOOLS - LAYOUT and click on ‘Autofit’ and simply click on ‘fixed column width’. This will fix the width of your columns, but WAIT, we’re not finished just yet, we have to fix the height in place. To do this we need to once again make sure the table is highlighted and right click anywhere on the table. A drop-down menu will now appear, scroll down to TABLE PROPERTIES, you will now see a dialogue box, click on the ‘columns’ tab and where is says ‘row height is’ and a dialogue box saying ‘at least’, click on the down arrow to the right and you should see the option to click ‘exactly’ (this is the little magic button). Click on this option and click OK. Your table is now pinned in place and the cells are not going to budge when you insert your images. It’s not time to insert those images. Simply drag and drop your images into the word document. Drop the images one at a time into each cell and they will automatically resize to fit the cell. If you find the image is too small you will have to crop the image to fit the dimensions of your cells. In order to CENTRE your images you simply highlight the table and check the ‘centre’ icon under the HOME table. Is it looking good?
I you need to split your table so you can insert some text or simply separate the rows, click on the row BELOW the split, go to TABLE TOOLS - LAYOUT and the click on ‘split table’. EASY!!
Before I discovered this method of dragging and dropping images into word I was spending endless hours trying to correct the images, the sizes and where they landed on the page. To say I was frustrated was an understatement. It was part of my business, so giving up so much time to formatting documents meant my income per hour was dwindling and the bigger the project the more time I spent. Once I figured out this method it was such a relief, in fact I think I may have jumped for joy!!! I then made template for my projects with formatted tables ready to go.

Thank you! word noobs like me appreciate these methods more than you will ever know.
So glad it made a difference.
Ok last post from me - just want to say I managed to follow all your instructions (up until moving the thing to the left - so I just used 2 minimised windows side by side) but when I dragged and dropped, they didn't appear like yours did and somehow appeared in the bottom row of the table! So I dragged them to the top but they didn't fill up the whole 'frame' or cell or however you want to call it. Was doing so well at that point but now I'm frustrated again (sorry). Any idea why that might be happening or what I've done wrong please, Lisa? Maybe it's something to do with Office 2007 I've no idea.
Great video. Thank you for solving a problem. Saved me loads of time.
So helpful!! thank you very much!

Great tutorial. Many thanks!
What version of Office are you using? I don't seem to have that little + sign above the table when creating my 2x2 and I can't find the height thing either or the autofit. SO frustrating. You'd think Microsoft would have made this really easy but it's so not. :(
