I only recently discovered frames which is why I asked the question since
they add complexity, and yes I am running text around the frames and their
captions. The illustrations are mostly photographs. I insert them into Word
using Insert/picture/from file. Is that the best way to do it?

OK, if you want text flowing around, you need to use either a table cell
or a frame. A textbox won't do, beceause Word has a habit of not
"finding" the captions in there (which makes your table of figures
rather useless! :-)).

A frame might not lend as many options concerning "flow-around", but it
has another benefit that tables don't offer: you can make a frame part
of a style, say, the Caption style. Type your caption text, apply the
style (which frames it and positions the frame in the predefined way),
then, with your cursor at the start of the frame, insert (from file) the
picture.
