i am creating a collage and when i reposition one picture, others move as
well. How can I move and re- move pictures as single items

One possibility - if the images are separate objects - is that they have been
Grouped. Select the image, then click the Draw button (Drawing Toolbar) & if
Ungroup an available command, select it.

It is also possible that the collage was created in a different program &
inserted into the Word doc as a single object, in which case there is nothing
you can do in Word. The image will have to be edited in a graphics app & the
new version inserted in place of the old one.

No, they are not grouped, all separate pictures which I want to move and
arrange. I am the one creating the collage in word so no other program is
involved. I found out that I can move them separately by text wrapping them
in front of text - the background text box I take it? I cannot insert them
into the text box directly without a whole lot of other movement. Lock them?
Add text box background lst?

Your questions aren't really clear, but...

It's not possible to insert drawing objects INTO other drawing objects. They can
be layered (Draw/Order).

If an object "disappears" behind another one, you can click the white arrow in
the Drawing toolbar, draw a "box" around the object group, hold Ctrl while
clicking on the objects you DO NOT want, then Draw/Order to bring it to the
front so that you can move it. Or, you can press the arrow keys to move it.
