Have you tried inserting a table to your page?
3 columns and two rows.
Row 1 is for the pictures and row 2 are for the text for each photo.
You can easily center the photos in each of their cell[s].
Seems to work for me.
I tried it in LO 4.2.2.1 on a Linux Mint/MATE OS.
Yes, in another post there is a comment about the object memory size.
If the Memory size of the object and the number of objects values are
too low, it might give you problems. Remember, the file size and the
"memory size" are not the same. JPG images have a compression rating
and can be much smaller than the memory that is needed to display it. I
worked with a 4 MG file size JPG file and it took almost 20 MB of memory
in the image editor. If I set the memory per object to 10MB and need
20MB, then they will be issues with the document, or so I have seen in
tests a year or two ago.
I never tried the Anchor to a Character before. I usually use Page or
Paragraph types. But Page anchoring is not "wise" if you document will
be added to before the image page, since the relative position of the
image[s] in the document will change.

Ahh, i was going to say i have more luck with "Anchor to page" but i
strongly suspect Dan's finesses would fix all that

I have a document -
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp6rf6edhuui8qb/SpeyElectrics.v16.odt
It consists of a number of pages, the first two should have only writing
on them, then there are some line drawings, then a page with an annotated
image (page 6), followed by some more diagrams.
I am having a number of problems.
When I reopen the document after editing some of the draw lines and
other objects. Things have leapt to other pages.
When I attempt to select multiple objects so I can group them, when I
press the shift key and click, I end up on the image page page 6
When I select a line, the line tool bar does not appear. I have to draw
a new open line and then by selecting that I can get the line drawing tools
icons (to add and delete points etc), and I may then be able to edit the
line I wanted to edit.
Is it something special about this document, or is this a more general
problem.
What do I do to fix it?
I have the latest Libre Office installed - 4.2.1.1
I had a similar problem recently with a document in which I was trying to
insert about 15 pictures. It was okay until I wanted three pictures side by
side on the same page. Every time I tried to resize a picture or move it
slightly, it suddenly moved to another page. When I tried to move it back,
all kinds of things weird things happened. I think it has to do with my
anchoring settings, especially since all three pictures were anchored to
the same place, but since I just had to get the project done and didn't
have time to play with it, I imported it all into LyX and finished it
there. Later, I'll go back into LO to learn how to do it right.
I sense that LO's wysiwyg approach makes things a little more complex. I
even tried my document with pictures in a markdown editor and found it
worked better there than in LO.
Again, I'm sure a lot of has to do with my lack of knowledge of this part
of LO.

Suggestion: When inserting pictures, create an empty paragraph.
Insert a frame in this paragraph, and insert the picture or pictures in the
frame. Anchor both the frames and these pictures "As Character". You should
also create a paragraph style for your frames so that you can align them
horizontally uniformly. This also permits you to have a border around each
frame if you like or no border.
The document guides for LibreOffice contain pictures in the hundreds
with no apparent problem inserting and anchoring pictures.
