If you have a graphic (or other object) selected when you insert a caption,
the "top" or "bottom" option will put the caption above or below the
selected graphic. If the graphic is In Line With Text, the caption will also
be in an ordinary text paragraph, but if the graphic is wrapped, the caption
will be inserted in a text box, which is a Very Bad Idea because Word can't
see text in text boxes for purposes of generating cross-references or a
Table of Figures. If both graphic and caption are inline, format the
paragraph that comes first as "Keep with next," and they will stay together.
If you must wrap text around the graphic and caption, insert them both in a
frame and wrap the text around that.

Thanks suzanne. It worked.
2 more questions in this regard
1- Top/buttom
That dialog box has another option which is top/buttom. Is this only
refering to Fig. on "top" or "buttom"? If it is so, does it mean that if I
change the place of figure from buttom of the reference to top, then the
cross reference will automatically change?
2- associate a figure with its caption
Which command controls the "keep together" of a caption and its figure?
PS) Recently For some replies the "Notify me of replies" service doesn't
work with gmail. I am late in reading the replies.

In the Cross-reference dialog, choose "Only label and number" instead of
"Entire caption."

I have 2 questions regarding my previous post:
1- Is it necessary/good to make a link or sort of association between
caption and figure?
2- I defined a caption for a fig (Fig. 1 Different kinds of Spectrum)
and
cross-referenced it in the body of my text. In the body text both
Fig.1
and
explanation after that "Different kinds of Spectrum", comes. Is it
necessary?
Is it possible to exclude the explanation and only bring the Fig. 1?

The Insert | Reference menu does not by default include a figure
number
or
table number command, so I assume you are referring to the Caption
command,
which inserts a figure or table number. Once you have inserted the
caption,
then you can use Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to insert a
cross-reference to the figure number or table number in that
caption.
