     I use frames to arrange figures on a page.  Each frame is anchored 
as a character in its own separate paragraph. I also set the alignment 
in the frame to Center. The figure is anchored as a character. This 
permits me to place two figures into the frame and have the figures 
centered.
    When creating the frame, make sure it is larger than the figure or 
figures that it will contain. If it is one figure, right click the 
figure and select Position and Size to see what its dimensions are. Then 
right click the border of the frame and select Position and Size. If 
necessary, adjust the size of the frame to match the size of the frame 
or frames.
     I have a paragraph style which has Center as its alignment. This 
places the figure in the center horizontally.
