Dear dest: As Theresa said, when Text Wrapping is In line with Text, the figure is tied to the lines of text. The figure is like a character in your text string, and characters in text strings move around with the text. To get your figures vertically aligned, change their Text Wrapping to Top and Bottom (this sort of lookes like In Line), then click on them & say Align Center. Of course, they will now be independent of the text, so you might want to nudge them up & down with the arrow keys. If you want to keep In Line Text Wrapping you have to physically drag them to where you want them to be like you would drag a character in a text string that you wanted to move.

I have inserted pictures inline with my Word 2007 text, but I want to align them vertically (centered) with the text. When I select a picture by clicking on it, and use the Align tool in the Arrange group under the Picture Tools tab, the Align commands are all greyed out, and not available. I looked at help, and saw that I may have to select more than one object using a control click. I was not able to select the picture along with text that way. When I dragged the mouse over the text and the picture, I was able to select the picture and text, but the Picture Tools tab was no longer available. How do I vertically align an inline picture with the surrounding text without text wrapping?
