Sounds as if you have.
Interesting that under AK2 they were called bitmaps and under 2010 the have
become images. Still the problem is that the built in images can be centered
with the text centered underneath them, but using an embedded .bmp or .ico
picture, it appears that the picture and text are treated as one, so when you
say show the text at the bottom, the image is top left and the text bottom
right.

In A2007, which was the first version to offer a Caption & Picture command
button, setting the button's Picture Caption Arrangement property to Bottom
gives exactly what you want even with custom pictures. Has this changed in
A2010?
