I appreciate the good thoughts but it's not working for me.

I am using Word 2007 on XP.

I simply want to keep captions with tables and figures and let them flow
wherever in the document - hate to have a tiny graphic taking up an entire
line.

But I can't figure out how to "insert a frame" - as has been suggested
elsewhere. Is that no longer there in 2007?


The Insert Frame command is found he On the Developer ribbon tab, click
Legacy Tools (in the Control group); you'll find it under "Legacy Forms."

Note: If you cannot see the Developer tab, turn it on via Office button |
Word Options, Popular category. Enable the "Show Developer tab in the
Ribbon" option and click OK.

And i also tried to just check "keep with next" on the paragraph
containing
the caption. But when i do that and then go back and select the graphic
and
choose "with text wrapping", the graphic moves to the intended location,
but
the caption sits stubbornly where it was, except now there is an anchor
nearby. Hmmm?

"Keep with next" assumes that the graphic is "In line with text" and thus
treated as (part of) an ordinary text paragraph.

If you don't need to position the caption and the figure relative to
the page (or wrap text around them), you don't need the frame.
Instead, as Fred suggested, you could just let them be part of the
ordinary text flow. In such a case, "Keep with next" makes sure that
Word does not break the page between the figure and its caption.

What is the advantage your method (Not puting a frame)?
Does it solve the moving issue as I mentioned in my previous post?

If you don't want a frame around the figure and caption, a simpler
way to
keep them together is to do everything Stefan said except for
inserting a
frame from the Forms toolbar. Instead, format the first paragraph
(whether
it is the figure or the caption) as Keep With Next ¶ (Format |
Paragraph |
Page and Line Breaks).
