Sorry, wrong tab.
Created attachment 167814 [details] Screenshot of the header editing capabilities of Word 2013 and Writer It seems like Word does not allow setting multiple column layout in the header. The dropdown for this is greyed out on my Word 2013 once I open the header.

@Justin: maybe you have some insight into this. Would it be possible to do some magic tricks with sections or something, to support this layout?
(In reply to NISZ LibreOffice Team from comment #4) It seems like Word does not allow setting multiple column layout in the > header. This is also true for Word 2016. Since this is not possible in MS Word, this is NOTABUG. It is a limitation of Microsoft's document format. I don't see any need to try to "emulate" columns in this situation. What might work nice for one document probably won't work for another document. (Sections also are not allowed in headers.)
Closing per last comment. From user perspective it's better to use a 2x1 table with images anchored "As Character" and the paragraphs inside the table centered. That gives the same look even after saving to docx and opening in Word.
