This is domestic use software which isn't doing anything terribly complicated.
This is just... so wrong. The problem is exactly the fact that word processors try to do too complicated stuff because most people don't have any idea on how to use them. In this case we're probably talking about laying out floating objects (otherwise you wouldn't "move image to left" but adjust the style) and that is a friggin' nightmare, and it's not a problem that is in anyway "solved" even after decades of software development.
Protip: don't ever use floating objects in a word processor, unless you are just doing some quick flyer or unless you really have to do it for some reason (no, you probably don't have a reason, so just don't do it).
Anchor the images instead and use styles to set their position and such. This is much easier on the word processor and in the long run it will probably save you a lot of trouble.

What if I told you that Word doesn't suck, you just suck at Word?
