You can add the label as a text box, frame, or table cell and rotate the
text in it. A caption in a text box, however, won't be seen by the Table of
Figures in Word 2003 or earlier.

The problem I have with both these replies is that for a number of
pictures
there is no "text"--the text is part of the picture and cannot be selected
apart from the entire picture. The reason I have to do some pictures this
way is as follows. Some pictures have the long axis horizontal (4-5
people
lined up next to each other. Because the document has the long axis
vertical, I have to rotate the picture 90 degrees so it will display
better.
Were I not to rotate it, the constraints of the paper would "squish" it
too
much in reducing it to fit the page. Since I can't find a way to type the
label underneath after the picture is rotated and pasted (I can only add
a
white space underneath and as part of the picture and type the label into
the
white space where it becomes a part of the picture). This leaves me with
no
text that can be selected for a style, a caption etc, only a jpeg picture.
