Table/Caption Confusion
I wanted to create an image with a caption, so I created a table with one column
and two rows, put the image in the top cell and the caption in the lower cell. At least that's what I think I did. I don't remember for sure any more, and I can't decipher what Word is showing me. (Please remember that this is a newsgroup for new users :-}) I do know that I have a table (because I can get table properties for the image, though not for the caption) and that the table has no caption (because choosing "caption..." shows no text), so I know I'm not using Word's innate caption feature for tables. What confuses me is that in web layout view, the caption appears below the image, just as I want. You can see what I see here, where the text at the top is the last line of the preceding paragraph: http://www.aristeia.com/Personal/web...out%20view.jpg However, when I switch to print layout view, the caption appears above the image, as shown he http://www.aristeia.com/Personal/pri...out%20view.jpg Can anybody help me figure out what I've done and how to get Word to always put the caption text below the image? Thanks, Scott |

Table/Caption Confusion
Click on the picture itself, which should display the Picture toolbar. Click
on the Text Wrapping button (dog icon) and make sure that the wrapping is set to In Line With Text. That will ensure that the picture is actually in the table cell and not in front of or behind it. It then cannot wander from its position above the caption. -- Suzanne S.

The position of the caption still changes depending on whether I'm using web view or print view. Other ideas? Thanks, Scott |

In Table | Table Properties, Table tab, try setting the "Text
wrapping" to "None." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Scott Meyers" wrote in message ... Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: Click on the picture itself, which should display the Picture toolbar.

Is there some way for me to confirm this? If that's not what I have, I may be barking completely up the wrong tree. Thanks, Scott |

You can use the TableCellHelper macro (or Greg's variant) to determine this.
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...eIncorrect.htm or http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Table_Cell_Data.htm -- Suzanne S.

Table/Caption Confusion
Here's a way to confirm you are in fact seeing just one table: Place
the cursor inside the table. On the Table menu, click Select, and then click Table. Is everything that appears to be a single table now selected? If not, there could be multiple tables, and you need to check the text wrapping for all of them. Another possibility is that the document has frames. With the cursor inside the object, look for a Frame command at the bottom of the Format menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Scott Meyers" wrote in message ...
