I don't know that you are.

One suggestion:
The point of indenting the first line of a paragraph is to indicate 
the start of a new paragraph even when the last line of the previous 
paragraph happens to be full or nearly so.  It is a hangover from 
typescript or from manuscript on lined paper (and is unnecessary even 
then if an entire line is left blank between paragraphs).  Since you 
have chosen a paragraph style (Text body) that has vertical spacing 
between paragraphs, the indenting is unnecessary and you can easily 
dispense with it.

One workaround:
Insert a frame where the pictures are.  You can either put the 
pictures in the frame or put them in front of it.  Either way, your 
text will apparently wrap around the frame as you wish it to.

I trust this helps.
