2) Right-click on the picture (not the frame surrounding picture and caption) and

make sure that Anchor > To paragraph is selected.

3) Left-click on the picture and drag it below the caption.

Tip

You may wish to adjust the spacing above and below the caption text, to

fine-tune the appearance of the picture and its caption.

Adding captions manually

If you need to save as *.doc files or export in other formats, you may find that

captions applied as described above (either automatically or using the Caption dialog

box) are lost during the export. To avoid export problems, or as another way to put

captions above pictures or below them (the usual case), you can add a caption

manually, in either of two ways:

• Place the graphic and its caption in separate paragraphs.

• Use a table.

Place the graphic and its caption in separate paragraphs

Insert the graphic and anchor it to its paragraph as a character. Press Enter to create

a new paragraph for the caption.

1) In the caption paragraph, type, for example, Figure and add a space.

2) To insert the figure number automatically, click Insert > Fields > Other

(Control + F2) and select the Variables tab.

3) Select Number range in the Type list. Select Figure in the Selection list and

choose, for example, Arabic (1 2 3) in the Format drop-down list. Click the

Insert button.

4) A number will appear after the word “Figure” in the caption. Now, type the

text of the caption.

Tips

If you are manually adding captions to a lot of figures using this

method, you might want to make an AutoText entry containing, for

example, Figure and a space, the figure-number field, and an optional

separator and a space after it.

To ensure the picture and its caption stay together on the page: if the

picture is going above the caption, define the text flow of the Figure

paragraph style as Keep with next paragraph and the next style as

Caption. Conversely, if the caption is going above, define the Caption

paragraph style as Keep with next paragraph and the next style as

Figure.

Use a table

Create a one-column, two-row table. Place the picture in one row and type the

caption in the other row—or use two or more rows for the caption and other text.

This method can be especially useful for pictures with numbered legends, such as

Figure 267 in this chapter.
