Default How to center a figure in the middle of an outlined paragraph?

I would like to insert a figure in the middle of a paragraph. However, I want
the figure to be centered, while the text is outlined. Is this possible?

You could use a center-aligned tab stop, but if you really want the text
wrapped around the picture, then you should change the wrapping from In Line
With Text to Square and then set the horizontal position as Centered
Relative to Margins.

Thanks! This was very helpful!
Is it also possible to include a figure caption in this case, that is
automatically included in a list of figures?

Thanks...

If the graphic is wrapped, a caption will be inserted in a text box, which
will NOT be seen by a Table of Figures (except in Word 2007). For that
situation, it is preferable to insert both the figure and the caption
inline, then select both and insert a frame. You can wrap text around the
frame. You won't find Frame on the Insert menu in recent versions (unless
you've added it, as I have), but you can find an Insert Frame button on the
Forms toolbar.

Thank you for the very quick responses!

The text is actually not wrapped (only text immediately above and below the
figure). Is it easier in this case?

In that case, I'd just insert the figure and caption inline (and centered)
since frames don't offer Top and Bottom wrapping.

Dear Susan,

I followed your advice, and use a center-aligned tab stop to place a
centered figure in the middle of a justified paragraph (top and bottom
wrapping).
This works quite well for justifying text while centering the figure.
However, I often have the problem that the paragraph text takes the
formatting (font size and line spacing) of the figure caption. Could you tell
me how I can prevent this?

Thanks in advance,

Lot

That is *not* what I was suggesting. I was suggesting that you insert the
figure in its own centered paragraph, with the caption below it in its own
centered paragraph (or possibly both in a single paragraph). The text above
and below would be in separate (justified) paragraphs.

Default How to center a figure in the middle of an outlined paragraph?

Ok, but my initial question was how I could enter a figure in the middle of a
paragraph...
with different formatting of paragraph text and figure (which you want to do
when you want to put the figure at the top of a page while the paragraph with
text was not finished at the bottom of the previous page). If you enter the
figure in a different paragraph, the last line on the previous page is not
justified.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Default How to center a figure in the middle of an outlined paragraph?

You can justify the last line of the paragraph on the previous page by
inserting a line break (Shift+Enter) and then formatting the paragraph mark
as 1 point or Hidden.

Your way is also reasonable for this, but you won't be able to apply a
different paragraph style for the figure and caption. For example, if you
want some space between the figure and caption or caption and body text,
you'll have to fudge it with empty lines instead of being able to insert
Space Before/After.

In that case, I'd just insert the figure and caption inline (and
centered)
since frames don't offer Top and Bottom wrapping.

Thank you for the very quick responses!

The text is actually not wrapped (only text immediately above and
below
the
figure). Is it easier in this case?

If the graphic is wrapped, a caption will be inserted in a text
box,
which
will NOT be seen by a Table of Figures (except in Word 2007). For
that
situation, it is preferable to insert both the figure and the
caption
inline, then select both and insert a frame. You can wrap text
around the
frame. You won't find Frame on the Insert menu in recent versions
(unless
you've added it, as I have), but you can find an Insert Frame
button
on
the
Forms toolbar.

Is it also possible to include a figure caption in this case,
that
is
automatically included in a list of figures?

Thanks...

You could use a center-aligned tab stop, but if you really

wrapped around the picture, then you should change the

from
In

With Text to Square and then set the horizontal position as
Centered

What do you mean by "outlined"?

I would like to insert a figure in the middle of a
paragraph.
However, I
want
the figure to be centered, while the text is outlined.
Is
this
possible?
