How can I add descriptions/text under pictures in Word 2007?
What is the best way to add a description under a picture? I want the width
of the text to be the same width as the picture. I am writing a book and it will contain several pictures that vary in width. Thank you |

ISTR that a Caption uses the full page width?
You could make a one-column, two-row Table, put the picture in the upper cell and the caption in the lower (it can still have the Caption or any other autonumbered style). Set all your table borders to none.

Or, if you need to wrap text around the picture, you can put both picture
and caption in a frame (NOT a text box). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...

If a wrap option is set the caption will be the width of the picture. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

But that will be because the caption will be in a text box, which will be
okay in Word 2007 (the TOC and Xrefs can see it) but not if the document is opened in an earlier version. -- Suzanne S.
