Sounds like you are not using the FormatPosition command.

First of all, make sure that you are using paragraphs correctly.  You
should only see the Paragraph Mark (backward P) at the end of each
paragraph, not the end of each line.  Either let W4W autowrap or use
Shift+Enter for each line, you should see the graphic enter arrow on
the right of the line when you have Show All set.

Next, make sure Picture1, Centered Text, Picture2, and Regular Text are
all seperate paragraphs.  Select Picture1, choose the FormatPosition command,
and set it to Left relative to Margin and Top relative to Margin, for the
Centered Text paragraph, Centered relative to Margin and Top relative to
Margin, Picture2 should be Right relative to Margin and Top relative to
Margin.  Depending on what Centered Text contains (is it a text paragraph
or a heading?) you may have to add some Shift+Enter lines before the text
and some FormatParagraph Spacing After lines, so the Regular Text does not
push up into the Centered Text Area.  Also, you can place the Centered Text
paragraph either before, between or after the Picture paragraphs, the text
from the Text paragraphs will flow automatically between the Pictures.

Hope this helps,

Tim Forsyth
