Can,t Configure word 2007 in Web Layout

[mgm2010]

I want to configure MS Word 2007 in such a way that I can copy/paste two jpg images of 7 to 8 inches breadth side by side horizontally. For that purpose I am able to configure the "print layout" view to zero margins left and right and 18 inches width as well as height, after "ignoring" the alert saying that some margins are outside the printable area. I am aware that the scroll bar has to be used to view the image on the right, but that is acceptable to me.



2. I am interested to know why a similar procedure cannot be done with Web Layout ??
