Uploading documents
See here for accepted file types http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/ The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/Embedding documents
If you want to embed the document itself into a post, then you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs.

Your computer is not a web server so you cannot copy and paste images from WORD docs into posts or pages. You have three choices and the first two are uploading the documents or embedding them as I stated above.
If you wish to copy and paste from WORD then every image has to be uploaded into the blog so they are all on WordPress.com servers and can be displayed when a browser calls for them.
Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
Note you need to click the kitchen sink icon #15 at the end of Row 1 to have Row 2 appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-1

Hello timethief
Thanks for your extensive help on the above topic. I’m new to WordPress and web creation so I’ll need to look into your suggestions as I learn. For the moment I’m dropping in pictures under text, which seems ok for my site as the pictures are mostly artwork. -
You might want to look at Windows Live Writer, which works like Word but is web-compatible, free, and lets you do formatting.

No one of given codes react when I want to create vertical or horizontal text columns and combine with items in home page. I insert text, try to wrap around the image. text goes randomly, not in columns left or right.
Where I am wrong?
