there's a sign on top left which locks it probably in the position of that page, so it isn't anchored in the text.

That's not a lock, it signifies the placed image is linked.

To anchor the frame, you can either cut/paste as I described earlier, or, select the image (frame) with the Select tool (black arrow), then drag the little blue square into the text:

I have opened it in a modern version of indisign (I'm used to the old one) and there's a sign on top left which locks it probably in the position of that page, so it isn't anchored in the text. Can I unlock this? How ? Many thanks to all of you for the kind support! (its now German but it means the same (verankert=anchored)
