Note that if you are going to want to generate a table of figures, Word will
not see a caption in a text box. A frame is more suitable for this purpose.

Hello Suzanne,

I do know that, but there is also a figure label under the picture, and to
keep both of them together it seems appropriate to enclose both of them in
the text box.

I have in the past used a table two elements tall and one wide for this
and
flowed the text around the table, but that has other problems...

I really would like to solve this problem.

Thanks!

Well, to begin with, you do not need a text box to insert a wrapped
picture.

I added a text box to a full page of text in a very long document .
The
box
is about 4" square and is positioned at the top right of the print
portion
of
the page (not in the margins). Before filling the box I set the
attribute
to
have the text wrap around the box which occurred quite nicely.

I then set the focus to the interior of the box and attempted to add a
..jpg
image in the box using InsertPictureFrom File...[ref to .jpg file].

The picture goes in just fine but the text box jumps to the prior
page. I
cannot move the box back to the original location as it always jumps
to
the
prior page.

I have tried turning off the move with text attribute. I have tried
assigning an absolute location, and in fact I've twiddled every
attribute
on
the format text box advanced options.

Why does this occur and how can I prevent this action?

Thanks for your help.
