A floating picture keeps its position relative to the page, and floats in that position as text flows around it. For
example, if you position the picture halfway down on the left side of the page, and then you add two paragraphs
at the top of the page, the picture will stay halfway down on the left side of the page.
To make sure that the picture stays with text that references it — for example, a description above the picture,
position the picture as an inline picture. If you add two paragraphs above the description, the picture will move
down the page together with the description.
