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: How to keep a figure on the same page as its caption http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/figu...thcaption.html Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

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! -----Original Message----- Hi Michael What you are describing sounds like an appropriate way to keep the title and picture together.
