Always create your figure number first, place the cursor inside it,
Edit-Paste Special as "Picture (Enhanced metafile)", Format Picture, Size
(set or observe height), Layout Centered, in front of text, Advanced,
Vertical Absolute position MINUS (height + 0.1") below paragraph, Move object
with text, Lock anchor.

The picture and caption will always move together.

I realize that this does not directly answer your question, but would
you consider breaking the sub-figure up into separate figures? If that
would not work, would it be sufficient to just reference the entire
figure in the text and allow the reader to determine the section to
which you are refering?

Hello Sam



As long as the figures are "inline" instead of floating around, then
the prefered method is to use a "keep with next" (Paragraph
formatting) to the figure paragraph; that way it will stick to the
following caption paragraph.


Okay, I am going to try this in the document and see how it improves
things.



2) I would like to include subfigures in a figure. For example, I
want to show 4 pictures with lables "(a)", "(b)", "(c)" and "(d)".
All of them make up one figure, say "Figure 1". And I want to be able
to cross reference them as either "Figure 1" as whole (which is
easily done) or cross reference each subfigure indiviually as "Figure
1 (a)" or "Figure 1 (b)" etc. First, is this even possible in MS Word
2003? If yes, how (or a link a webpage for instructions). If no, is
there a work around to this?



I can't think of any built-in way for doing this with Word. Which
means, you insert the subtype-number by hand in your cross-reference ...

That is just too bad. I am wondering about a method, but correct me if I
am wrong (or if any of the following is impossible):
1) Make a new label and number is so that it includes the label and
number of a figure of choice
2) Put a picture and label it using the above label while telling that
new label to use Figure 1 as the base figure.
3) Possible make a macro to do this.

The result should be "(a)" in the figure but define the cross reference
to make it "Figure 1 (a)" in the text. Now, I am just thinking here, I
have no idea at present how to try pulling this off.

Suggestions? Alternatives?

thanks a ton,
Sam.
