Formatting a book with pictures in word
How can I add a caption to an image that I import into Word? Also, can the
image be fixed to 'move' with text as you add or delete text above or below as you write a story? |

Formatting a book with pictures in word
Hi ?B?SmVmZnJleSBXaWxzb24=?=,
How can I add a caption to an image that I import into Word? Also, can the image be fixed to 'move' with text as you add or delete text above or below as you write a story? In order to give you exact instructions we need to know which version of Word you have. For the first, you'll find it in the Insert menu; depending on your version of Word, under "References".

Formatting a book with pictures in word
I have Word 2003. What I want to do is write a documentary book of my
families history. I have old pictures to scan, so need captions for those. Then, I want to add some text to say who or where the picture refers to. Or in some circumstances a picture of a headstone in a cemetery, but need to add more info. What I've found is that if I insert some text or another picture the original picture and text do not move up or down together. Is word best? or is there some other software better suited for this. I have the entire Office 2003 suite. Thanks for your help "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?SmVmZnJleSBXaWxzb24=?=, How can I add a caption to an image that I import into Word?

Formatting a book with pictures in word
Word can handle all of this pretty easily provided you're not trying to wrap
text around full-page graphics. There are two ways to insert graphics ("pictures") in Word. If you insert them In Line With Text, then your picture is in a separate paragraph and moves with the text. If you apply some other wrapping style, then the picture is anchored to a text paragraph. You can have a picture by itself (or with its caption) on a page, but you can't have text on the previous subsequent pages flow around it. One way to keep pictures and captions together is to use the "Keep with next" property for the appropriate paragraph styles. This works for inline graphics. If you want to wrap the graphics, put both picture and caption together in a frame and wrap text around that. One simple way to deal with pictures (especially if you want them two or more abreast) is to put them in a table with the appropriate number of columns and rows (you can put the captions in the same row or a separate one).
