Default Keep With Next does not work when picture set to wrapping style tight

It should be working, but it could be a bit fiddly to set it up correctly.
Use the Frame dialog box (right-click the frame boundary and choose Format
Frame from the context menu), making sure that the vertical position is
relative to the anchor paragraph. For more on anchors, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/anchors.htm.

If you can't get it to work properly, try placing all three paragraphs
within the frame: the heading, the paragraph containing the inline picture,
and the caption paragraph.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried your instructions, but I couldn't get it to work. I played
around with the Frame idea, and the Lock Anchor and Move With Text
options. I got a variety of odd behavior, but nothing that worked.
The oddest is jamming the picture against the top edge of the page.
Other times it fails to wrap text around the picture at all.

I'll try anything else you suggest. Otherwise, I'll either have to
live with an orphaned heading (yuck!), or insert a hard page break as
suggested by Dean (yuck, again!). The thing is, I have a lot of these
in the document, so as I continue editing, the problems move around
(double yuck!). I just may have to wait until the doc is finished and
do hard page breaks then. It's a long document, so having to use a
"workaround" is a major bummer (triple yuck!).

I love/hate Word. Sound familiar?
