It's not as simple as it should be (hint hint for Microsoft).

You must first transform the picture into an object.  This magical
transformation is accomplished by selecting the picture (by clicking
on it, not highlighting it), and changing something(anything) in the
format position dialog box.  I usually change the "Horizontal Position
Relative to" to page, but any change will let it know that you want
to objectify.

1.  Center the text
2.  Insert the first picture somewhere else on the page.
3.  Insert the second picture, with at least a space between it
    and the first (sometimes it thinks that both are to be part
    of the same object).
4.  Turn them into objects (separately).
5   Go to print preview.
6.  Turn boundaries on.
7.  Use the mouse to position the objects.

W4W is fascist (in the sense used bu Jim Seymour in the current
"PC Magazine") in its layout; it doesn't let you get things "too
close" together.  I've actually crashed the program trying to 
arrange something exactly the way I wanted it.  BTW, blocks of
text can also be made into objects.  Also, objects can only be
positioned on the page which contains the picture or text comprising
the object....
