It's not clear from the original post, but I got the impression NRM was
using a table ("two column, horizontal layout"). If not, this would be a
good solution.

When you add a caption to an object whose Text Wrapping is set to
something other than "In line with text," Word places the caption in a
text box. And for captions in text boxes, the caption numbering will be
determined by the relative positions of the text box *anchors* rather than
the position of the actual text boxes on the page. Display object anchors
(in Word Options) and then drag the anchors as necessary; for example, you
can anchor the first caption text box to the first paragraph on the page,
the second text box to the second paragraph, and so on.
For more on anchors, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/anchors.htm.

When I insert four pictures on a page, I am having no trouble getting
them
to
be called Photo ( number inserted) and then the caption -- however the
numbering starts in the upper right hand corner and proceeds clockwise
around
the page. It should begin upper left, upper right, lower left, lower
right.
Is there any way I can control this? (I am using two column, horizontal
layout.)
Thanks.
