Default Caption alignment

Oh yeah, sorry.

But my images *are* "In line with text", and the Caption style is still
overridden. Try this simple example again with a Normal stylesheet:

- Paste in an image. By default it is pasted "In line with text".
- Right-align it (just click the toolbar button).
- Right-click on the image and choose Caption.
- Enter anything in the dialog and OK.

The caption becomes right aligned.

You missed the highlighted phrase: - when you add a caption to a picture
that is *not* "In line
with text" If the picture is inserted in line, the picture and the caption
are inserted in the text layer. If the picture is not in line, the caption
is inserted in a text box.

Hmm, are you saying that captions are on the drawing layer? I don't
think this is the case with me. I'm using Word 2003 and I can clearly
just hit the right arrow key to move the cursor from the main text,
past the image, and then in and through the caption, which wouldn't
be possible with a test box.

Can you confirm?

explains why it appears to override the settings of the style.
