Default table and caption inside a FRAME

Word cannot "see" captions in text boxes for purposes of cross-references of
a Table of Figures. That's why frames are recommended--but only if you need
to wrap text around the figure/table and caption. If they can be part of the
text flow, it is much better to leave them In Line With Text.

One negative point I find with text box, is that it doesn't match very

well
with reference numbers for captions of tables or figures. I hope frame

will
not have same problem.
Also working with jpg figures inside word for moving around is really a
nightmare for me.

When MS introduced text boxes, they were supposed to replace frames, and

so
frames were made harder to find. Unfortunately, text boxes are not
appropriate for a lot of the applications for which frames can be used.

You
can find an Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar. If you find it

useful,
you can add the button to any other toolbar, or you can add Frame back

to
the Insert menu.

I have difficulty managing the tables/charts and their captions in

word.
What is the best way? I have asked this before and get some input.
In a colleague's work (I have no access to him now) I saw he creates

frames,
and put table and its caption inside it. This looks easy to

do/understand.
I
can't find the "FRAME" (I am not sure with exact phrase) or the border

to
put
charts and captions.
Your comments will be highly appreciated.
