    It is a very open question. If your images reside in anchored frames, the frame + the images in the frames are going to float with the text flow. Add more text prior to the position of the anchor and your frame will float along with the position of the anchor. This is a good thing, if the thinking behind the image, is that it refers to specific content in the text.

    You can also insert images which are not anchored in the text flow. When you add or subtract text, the image stays where you put it on the page. In that instance the thinking may be, that the image will refer to the text on a, perhaps, broader level or that it is there for decorative reasons. Or something entirely else 🙂

    @Jeff_Coatsworth is right, though. If you want absolute control - use object styles!

    What if I resize the images manually and then want to keep them in the same position (same margines) with same size in all over the document.

    Object Styles work in the same manner as other styles. If you, for instance, define in your object style, that an object is to be positioned 10 cm from the left and 10 cm from the top with a sizing of 55% and you then redefine the object styles settings, then these redefined settings will affect all objects which have the style applied.
