Default Keeping Title and Picture Together

I paste pictures of spreadsheet sections into a document
and use the immediately preceeding paragraph as the figure
title. I set the title paragraph to "keep with next" and
paste the picture into the immediately following empty
paragraph, with the picture anchored to the paragraph and
the layout as "text top and bottom". In prior versions of
Word (through XP), this always kept the title and picture
together on the same page. However, something is different
in Word 2003, and it doesn't work anymore.

What has changed, and how can I accomplish this in Word
2003? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Michael

What you are describing sounds like an appropriate way to keep the title and
picture together. Nothing has changed in Word 2003 to do with paragraph
formatting of this kind. "Keep with next" should keep the paragraph on the
same page as the next paragraph.

Unless you want to wrap the text around the image, I always prefer to paste
the picture as an in-line graphic, not a floating graphic. So you might try
that.

But more likely is that there are other paragraphs in the vicinity that are
also set to "keep with next". There will come a point where Word can't keep
everything on the one page, and sooner or later it will have to break across
a page. Murphy's law suggests that this will always be where you least want
it. So I would investigate the paragraphs above the title.

The following may help, too:

Thanks, Shauna. Formating the picture location as in-line
with text solved the problem. I swear I used to be able to
select the location as Other-Top & Bottom to get the same
result. I think that's what now works different in Word
2003. Anway, you got me over the immediate hurdle. Thanks
again!
