I'd like to lock a group of images, tables, and text to a specific location in Word, so that regardless of additional pages or text added, the position of this group is fixed, as shown below.
Is there a way to do this?

If your objective is to have text flow around an inserted image or table, then you need to apply a Wrapped Text attribute to the object.
For images, Right Click on the image to bring up the contextual control box. Hover over the Wrap Text menu item and you will see another menu. From it you can choose various options for wrapped text. However, with your added desire to maintain a fixed position on a page for the object, select the More Layout Options choice.
The dialog contains Text Wrapping choices, but it also includes a Position tab for aligning the image to particular positions on the page. Make sure you check the Lock Anchor box before you exit this dialog. Experiment with the various setting to get your image positioned where you want it to be.
You can do similar things with Tables, but accessing the layout options is a bit different.
Right click in the table and choose the Table Properties option. Then select the Wrapping text option you want and click the Position button to get to the options that are available for positioning.
