I am trying to group two images in MS Word 2007 by selecting them and using
the Group Command. For some reason the group option does not activate. So I
am not presented with that option. Is there anything that I am missing? Can
someone help?

Insert a drawing canvas and put the pictures on it. Then you can group them.
Afterward, you can drag the group off the canvas and delete the canvas.

This idiocy has to do with the way Word 2007 implements two different drawing
engines, the old one from previous versions and the new "Escher" graphics used
for SmartArt.
