The problem re-explained:

I am a Macintosh person too ;)  Maybe I did not expresed myself correctly.
The problem is that WriteNow does the paste ON TOP of the cursor position.

That means that if you have a paragraph above the cursor position it gets
"kind of erased" because the figure is place ON TOP of the paragraph.  In 
other words, you get some text and the figure on the same exact place!  If
that is normal then I must be from another planet!

Imagine that you could not read the previous paragraph because I pasted a   
figure on top of it, and no! text does not wrap around the figure!

I hope I explained myself better this time :-!
