Default Figure and caption :How to group caption with figure?

Best practice (in a long/structured document): Make sure your figure is
an InlineShape (inline with text), then Word will handle it like a large
character. Make sure it's in its own paragraph. The figure caption goes
into the following paragraph. Make equally sure that the picture
paragraph's style is set to "Keep with next" (paragraph property).

Is your objective to always keep a figure and its caption together on the
same page?

If this is the case, you should create a special "figure" style that you use
for all figures that have a caption below. Define the "figure" style to "Keep
with next" (via Paragraph Line and Page Breaks tab). This will force every
paragraph with the "figure" style to be on the same page as the following
paragraph (i.e. your caption).

Dear Robert and Lene ,
Thanks for a kind reply.

How to use this kind of feauture,
If I do not want any blank space on a page, in case figure(along with
caption) moves on another page.

I tried the options provided by you and it works ...but I wandered how to
use 'Top and bottom' layout+caption.(to take care of the above mentioned
problem)

In that case, insert both figure and caption In Line With Text as described,
then select both and insert a frame (using the Insert Frame button on the
Forms toolbar). Format the frame wrapping as Around.
