If you're looking to have your text read left to right columns above the image, and begin left to right again after the image (rather than left top to bottom, right top to bottom), all you need to do is add two breaks.
Insert > Picture
, thenFormat > Wrap Text > Top & Bottom
will insert your image and apply the basic, proper formatting.In the sample image, there is a column break after paragraph 2 (before image) and a section break (continuous) after paragraph 4 (before image).
