Figure references are inserting the graphics
I have 100+ frames in a document. Each frame contains a linked image
followed by a caption. This worked fine when I originally inserted the images into the frames. However, if I change the style of the image to anything (e.g., Normal, Body) or if I Clear Formatting, the image "jumps" out of the frame (i.e., all that remains in the frame is my caption). This happened to all 100+ images when I recently changed the font used by my main Body style. I need the images inside the frame so I can position the image and caption on the page. I tried cutting/pasting the images back into the frames (all 100) and they looked fine, until I updated the references. Now the IMAGE also appears in the text when I reference the caption. For example, rather than displaying "See Figure 8", it displays "See the entire image is displayed Figure 8"! Yikes! I've tried all sorts of things, but the graphic image keeps appearing when I try to reference the caption. Help! Thanks! Steve |

Figure references are inserting the graphics
When you create a cross-reference, Word inserts a bookmark around the
caption or label. When you reinserted your images, you probably got them inside this bookmark. Ordinarily, the advice I would give is to be careful not to press Enter at the beginning of a caption in order to insert a figure; always press Enter at the end of the previous paragraph instead. It's very difficult to get around this type of problem when you are trying to use different styles inside a frame; as you have discovered, modifying the style or applying a different one can result in losing the frame. I'm wondering whether your document really needs to use frames. If the document consists entirely of images and captions, you might be much better off either leaving them inline or, if you need to have them side by side, putting them in a borderless table. -- Suzanne S.

Figure references are inserting the graphics
Thanks. You are correct. The images are ending up "inside" the
caption. I found a time consuming way to correct each figure (create a new frame, copy and paste the linked image into the frame, delete any whitespace before the caption in the original frame, copy and paste the caption into the new frame, and delete the old frame). But with so many images/captions, I was faster to revert to a backup of my document and redo the day's changes. The document is a 300 page book that includes text and images (and lots of other stuff), so I use frames to keep the captions and images together. I believe I used frames and not text boxes, because the text boxes were not updated when I F9'd the entire document. Thanks, Steve |
