I'm guessing that the OP attempted to convert a document with a page setup of smaller dimensions than the standard 8.5 x 11 inch designation into the standard page designation, which threw off all paragraphs and images due to a change in margins and workspace. Now he/she is forced to manually go through and move most of the image files manually since newer editions of Microsoft Word, and in general most document generators, contain auto-formatting. It's tedious and frustrating because if you change any of the text after you've moved an image, it could change the position on that image.
Just a guess.
