Yes, the figure has to be on the same page as the paragraph to which it is
anchored, but you can drag the anchor to another paragraph if necessary.

Yes, I've tried everything. I think the problem is that the figure has
to be on the same page as its anchor and Word inserts a page break if it
isn't. Doesn't seem like there's any way around this. I'll probably
use publishing or typesetting software to insert my figures. Thanks
anyway

unfortunately. Have you tried experimenting with the settings for Text

Hi,
I have a rather large (~60% of a page length) figure inserted into a
Word 2007 document inside a floating text box that has top/bottom
wrapping. The text box is positioned bottom/centered with the
paragraph
it is anchored to above it at the top of the page. The problem is
that
an automatic page break is inserted between the anchor paragraph and
the
preceding paragraph, leaving 3/4 of the previous page blank so that it
looks like this:
---------------------
paragraph
---------------------
anchor paragraph
figure
---------------------
"Move object with text" and "Lock anchor" are both unchecked for the
text box containing the figure. All I want if for the text to
seamlessly wrap around the figure with no forced page breaks. Thanks
for any advice
