If you just slap a graphic on top of a text document it will end up attached
to the page independently of the text. If you want the graphic treated as a 
character *within the text* you will need to paste it into the document.

Select the graphic and copy or cut it to the clipboard. Position the I-beam
at the point where you want to insert the graphic. Select Paste to re-insert
the graphic into the document; it will be treated as a character inserted
into the text and will move as you edit the text. To do this right you should
probably keep the graphic in its own paragraph with a line spacing of "1 line";
using points for the line spacing would be tricky.
