The usual answer is to use a Table, with one row and two cells, and no
border. Not columns, which are different, and require section breaks, better
avoided for such a use. You can give the cells different alignment settings
easily enough--just select the text and set as desired.
I doubt any new features will be added to Word 2007 at this late date.
One method to get (1) instead of 1--not sure this is the best as I have
little experience with figures.
Use Insert | Caption. Hit alt-F9 to see the field code for what you just
did. It should be something like
Figure { SEQ Figure \* Arabic }
Manually type parens outside the curly braces--that's the field that
generates the numbers. Alt-F9 again to see the result, make sure you are
happy with it.
Copy and paste that edited field for future captions, or save it as a
formatted autocorrect or autotext.
I quick-tested a Table of Figures--the parens also show up there, but it
seems all fine.

I'm using Word 2007 BTR2 and unfortunately there's still no option to create
a caption next to the equation. Will this option be available in the final
version of Word 2007?
I've found few other questions about it and one of the answers was to use 2
columns - first for the equation, second for the caption.
How can I i.e. create a caption like this "(1)" instead of just "1"? How can
I vertically align caption in the second column to the center of the column?
Thanks in advance
