There's a link there to what you need: that's OK for me, in fact.
o If you select "Wrap" (first entry), it gives you, in a conceptual mess, explanations for "No wrap", "Page wrap", "Dynamic page wrap", "Wrap through", "In background", "Contour", "Edit Contour", "First paragraph", and "Edit".
My only problem with this, as I mentioned, is that I don't see that there is any way to set "Dynamic page wrap". I suspect it doesn't exist and must have belonged in some other version of OpenOffice - either earlier or later. In any case, I'm not trying to defend OpenOffice (or the help text) as it is, merely to try to help in its use.

Incidentally, you appear to be searching the help text using the Find tab. I usually (though not always) find the Index tab more useful. Typing "wrap" takes you straight to "wrapping text" and "wrapping text;editing contours", and the top of the branch that you need.

That's easy to explain: the wrap style controls how surrounding text behaves, not other pictures. Pictures are positioned independently. The wrap styles of the pictures then control how the text behaves.
