Captions for Pictures
I have Word 2003. I have to be doing something wrong! I
insert a photo and get it in the right position. Then I insert a caption. This shoudl be so straightforward. I have spent a half hour trying to get that caption under the picture so I can group them together. Why does Word think I want the caption at the bottom of the page? Wouyldn't it presuppose that I want it linked to teh photo for which I said INSERT CAPTION? Then as if from hell, when I try nudge the caption goes left off teh page whether I nudge right or left. Shoudl I have to set aside my mornings to add a caption to a document? |

Generally speaking, graphics and captions are much easier to deal with if
they are in line with text. Insert the graphic in a text paragraph, formatted as "Keep with next," then insert your caption, which will also be an ordinary text paragraph. If you *must* wrap text around the graphic, select both graphic and caption and frame them using the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar. -- Suzanne S.
