If you choose to use a table, then you can use a two-cell table-one for the picture and the other for the caption. If using a text box, you can place the image within the text box with the caption either before or after the image, but also within the text box. Instead, insert a text box or a table, and use this device to help keep your figure and caption together. In those cases, it is essentially impossible to pair the two, and you will always be struggling with the caption (itself) wrapping around the picture. It generally doesn't work to have text wrapping on and your caption in the body of your document. If your pictures have text wrapping turned on, things get a bit trickier. The same applies if the caption follows the picture just make sure that the paragraph style you set up for your picture paragraph is formatted for "keep with next."
If your caption is before your picture's paragraph, make sure that it is formatted to "keep with next." That way Word will always make sure that the caption and picture are on the same page. All you need to do is make sure that you define a style for the paragraph in which the picture is inserted and make sure that you adjust the style for the caption's paragraph. In this case, it doesn't matter if your captions are before or after your picture. Let's assume for a moment that you are inserting your pictures inline, instead of activating text wrapping. Are your pictures inserted inline or with text wrapping? Are your captions before or after your pictures? These are important questions.
How you should format your pictures and captions depends, largely, on how you are inserting your pictures and how you are positioning your captions. Pete wonders how he can move a picture and caption at the same time. The problem he is having is when he wants to move the picture the caption stays behind. Pete uses pictures and associated captions in his Word documents.
