Default Captions and thier captors

If the caption is plain text, then the picture probably is, too (formatted
as In Line With Text, not wrapped), in which case you format the paragraph
it's in as "Keep with next." Ideally, you define a specific KWN style for
graphics. If you need to wrap text around both picture and caption, format
the picture as In Line With Text, then select both and use Insert Frame from
the Forms toolbar to insert both in a frame together.

Part of the problem is the caption is just text, there is no frame.
When I select the image and the text, the group option (under the draw
button) is not available. Is there a setting or something that may not
be set correctly that puts the caption as just text? This is very
frustrating, I'm getting ready to switch this document to word perfect
where I know the caption is part of the picture.

Then apply the wrap to the grouped object.

I have been working with pictures that I need captions for so I
envoked the captions command. To my surprise, the caption is not
linked to the picture! So if I want to wrap text around the picture,
the caption wraps also. I really dispise this, I'm sure the geniuses
at MS have a way to prevent this. Can anyone help?
