Default wrapping text around an pic with caption

Hi,
I have a page full of text into which i've 'pasted' images that i've
captured from other apps with the 'Print Screen' keyboard button. After
pasting the image, i moved it to the desired location and set word wrap on
the layout tab of the "Format Picture" dialog box. To these images, i've
added captions using the pull-down "Insert | Reference | Caption". I know
none of this is rocket science.

My problem is this. Text wraps the image okay but the paragraph spacing on
the text adjacent to the image seems to be disrupted by the caption that was
added.

Is there some way to make the caption actually part of the image? I think
this will help but any advice or other solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Insert both picture and caption inline, select both and use Insert Frame on
the Forms toolbar, then wrap text around the frame.

I'm glad you were able to figure it out from those rather terse
instructions!
