There are a couple of ways to do this. Perhaps the simplest way
is to anchor each graphic as a character. Then if they are small
enough, they should fit on the same "line."
Just make sure that they have the same height. To do this, click
the graphic to highlight it. Right click it to open a context menu.
Select Position and size from the context menu. The height and width
of the graphic are listed in the upper left corner of the Position
and Size window. Make any changes necessary there.
