Assuming you are able to import the pictures into your document, try the following, once you've entered the text and centered it: Picture 1 (upper left): 1. Select the picture 2. Format Position 3. Horiz. Align. = Left relative to Margin 4. Vert. Align. = TOP relatvive to Margin 5. OK Picture 2 (upper right) 1. see above, noting differences of Right and TOP Positioning objects causes text that occupied the positions you specify to be pushed out of the way and wrap around the forced position objects. Experiment! BTW, attempting to position objects by dragging them in Print Preview is sometimes ineffective, i.e., position changes of a single increment will not take effect. Use the mouse pointer to reveal the coordinates of the UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER of the object's desired position and then when you format position, set horiz. and vert. align. to the 100th of an inch.
