Both Square and Tight wrapping styles will wrap text around a picture. If
you want to make the least work for yourself in creating a Table of Figures,
use Word's Insert | Caption feature (or at least the Caption style). Note,
however, that if your graphic is wrapped and you select it and choose Insert
| Caption, you'll get a caption in a text box, which you do *not* want, as
Word then can't see it to include in a TOF. Instead, for captioned wrapped
graphics, insert both graphic and caption inline, then select both together
and put them in a frame (using the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar
or put Frame back on the Insert menu). You can wrap text around the frame,
and you will have the same positioning options as with a text box.

"in front of text" means that text can run behind it.
How do you force the text away from the picture?

Could regular paragraph numbering be used? (using styles, of course!)
To create a Table of Figures or include them in a Table of Contents
would be a bit more work than otherwise, but not a big deal, right?
