The purpose of the Caption dialog box is to create *numbered* captions.

Which is another example of MS hijacking the accepted meaning of a word!
The definition EVERYONE ELSE uses is a "title" for a picture - a
"numbered" caption should be an OPTION, but NOT automatic and
non-removable. How many people waste time (I've wasted an hour or so this
morning myself) trying to do something that MS defines in an MS way and
not what everyone else defines it as? I repeat, arrogance in an enormous
way.


Well, English is not my native language, so I really cannot comment on this.

However, note that the people posting messages here do not work for
Microsoft.

If you don't want that, just add the caption manually, by typing the
text.


I'd thought of that, presumably you mean in a text box. However, if I then
move the picture, the text box doesn't move with it, unlike the caption.


Place the picture "In line with text," add the caption in a separate
paragraph, and then wrap a frame around both of them; this keeps them
together.

You'll find the Insert Frame command on the Developer tab: In the Controls
group, click the Legacy Tools button, and then click Insert Frame (under
"Legacy Forms").
