You said you wanted the text around the graphic wrapped? For this to happen
the graphic must be inserted in some option other than in-line (where it
behaves like a large font character) - or its layout changed to a wrap mode.
If the graphic is inserted in one of its wrap modes, adding a caption adds a
frame, and this can be grouped with the image.
If you are going to keep worrying about how Word Perfect does things then
you are never going to be comfortable working in Word. These are entirely
different applications that format documents completely differently.

Thank's Suzanne, that does work, much more of a problem than in Word
Perfect but I get the results I want. I can't understand why Word
doesn't do like WP and keep the caption with the graphic. If I just
wanted text under a picture, I could just type it there!

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.

Select both the image and the frame containing the caption and
group them. 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?
