Place the object (figure, chart, etc.) "In line with text" (Format |
Object, Layout tab) and press Enter (so that the object is the only item in a paragraph). Insert the caption in the paragraph below the object. Select the two paragraphs and then, on the Forms toolbar, click the Insert Frame button. Word adds a frame around the items, which will keep them together. Use Format | Frame to set placement options for the frame, if necessary. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Khoshravan" wrote in message ...

If you don't want a frame around the figure and caption, a simpler way to
keep them together is to do everything Stefan said except for inserting a frame from the Forms toolbar. Instead, format the first paragraph (whether it is the figure or the caption) as Keep With Next ¶ (Format | Paragraph | Page and Line Breaks).

Thanks Stefan. It wokred and helped a lot. Just one more question about
moving the frame. When I move the frame to top of the page, it eneters the heading area and I loose control of precisely adujsting its position. I think it has something to do with anchoring icon which appears in left margin of the page (frame was in left side, first I moved it to right side of page. Anchor didn't come. Second when I moved frame up, it went wrong) -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan "Stefan Blom" wrote: Place the object (figure, chart, etc.) "In line with text" (Format | Object, Layout tab) and press Enter (so that the object is the only item in a paragraph).

What is the advantage your method (Not puting a frame)?
Does it solve the moving issue as I mentioned in my previous post? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan "Idaho Word Man" wrote: If you don't want a frame around the figure and caption, a simpler way to keep them together is to do everything Stefan said except for inserting a frame from the Forms toolbar.

You can use Format Frame to define its position precisely, relative to the
page, the margins, or the paragraph it's anchored to. -- Suzanne S.

Hi ?B?S2hvc2hyYXZhbg==?=,
When I move the frame to top of the page, it eneters the heading area and I loose control of precisely adujsting its position. I think it has something to do with anchoring icon which appears in left margin of the page (frame was in left side, first I moved it to right side of page. Anchor didn't come. Second when I moved frame up, it went wrong) Once you've created the frame, click on its edge and "wiggle it" a bit until you see that anchor. Make sure it's next to a paragraph that's going to stay on the page, or one with which the picture should be linked (if it moves to another page, the frame will go, as well). Now right-click the frame and choose "Format Frame". You'll find a checkbox in there to LOCK the anchor. This means that the anchor will stay with this paragraph, no matter where you drag the frame. That may help :-) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

keep figures and captions together
If you don't need to position the caption and the figure relative to
the page (or wrap text around them), you don't need the frame. Instead, as Fred suggested, you could just let them be part of the ordinary text flow. In such a case, "Keep with next" makes sure that Word does not break the page between the figure and its caption. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Khoshravan" wrote in message ...

keep figures and captions together
I appreciate the good thoughts but it's not working for me.
I am using Word 2007 on XP. I simply want to keep captions with tables and figures and let them flow wherever in the document - hate to have a tiny graphic taking up an entire line. But I can't figure out how to "insert a frame" - as has been suggested elsewhere. Is that no longer there in 2007? And i also tried to just check "keep with next" on the paragraph containing the caption. But when i do that and then go back and select the graphic and choose "with text wrapping", the graphic moves to the intended location, but the caption sits stubbornly where it was, except now there is an anchor nearby. Hmmm? "Stefan Blom" wrote: If you don't need to position the caption and the figure relative to the page (or wrap text around them), you don't need the frame.

The Insert Frame command is found he On the Developer ribbon tab, click Legacy Tools (in the Control group); you'll find it under "Legacy Forms." Note: If you cannot see the Developer tab, turn it on via Office button | Word Options, Popular category. Enable the "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" option and click OK. And i also tried to just check "keep with next" on the paragraph containing the caption. But when i do that and then go back and select the graphic and choose "with text wrapping", the graphic moves to the intended location, but the caption sits stubbornly where it was, except now there is an anchor nearby. Hmmm? "Keep with next" assumes that the graphic is "In line with text" and thus treated as (part of) an ordinary text paragraph. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote: If you don't need to position the caption and the figure relative to the page (or wrap text around them), you don't need the frame.

I have used the Frame feature, however we have found that using a single cell
table (or two cells table for side by side) that you have a better control of the figure and the caption. The table properties allows for great controls on its position Yves "Khoshravan" wrote: How can I keep figure or charts with their captions together? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan |
