This will force Word to keep caption text on the same page with picture itself. That means, that for the paragraph of this picture option “Keep with next” was enabled. Now you also see (if p.1 was followed) that small black box appeared to the left of the picture itself. set that caption should be placed below selected item. This feature is also helpful if you want to keep you document formatting clean and tidy.Ģ) Right-click your picture and choose “Insert caption” from the context menu.ģ) In the dialog which pops-up select type of caption and settings as you require. So do it the right way as described below:ġ) First of all, enable display of non-printed characters – this allows you to see the effect of next steps. Caption should be text in word, not part of any graphical objects. You don’t have to group picture/figure and its caption in Word in such a way. It seems that your problem is “grouping”. When you add, remove or move around your captions MS Word automatically renumbers them to retain the correct sequence. You can change the formatting of the captions by using the Insert Caption dialoque window and clicking on Numbering … Word automatically assigns the number based on the caption of the same type directly preceding the one you’re inserting. Numbers can be of many different formats, can start at any number or letter, and can include chapter numbers (e.g. The command invokes a dialogue window which lets you to choose the type of caption (among default as well as user-defined) and the number format. I have a special keyboard shortcut for this command because I use it so often. Use Insert …Caption… command to add a new caption. MS Word has a set of features to effectively manage your captions. Academic standards require that captions are sequentially numbered, referred to in the main text, and sometimes listed in the beginning of the publication. I don't know of any programs that have this fuzzy logic and it would be a welcome feature that might allow a program to differentiate itself from its competitors.A caption and a cross-reference in a text.Ĭaptions are titles of Tables, Figures, Equations, Boxes and other pieces of content which are separate from the main text.
Depending on the flow of text, you might describe this as wanting the picture to always appear on either the same page or next page as paragraph X such that all the pages are filled with content and not left half empty. The graphic should remain in the vicinity of the paragraphs that refer to it.

What you 'really' want is to have the text flow around the graphic with some user-configurable fuzzy logic so the preceding page is always full with content irrespective of the edits prior to this point. Full page is full page so floating or not makes no difference to where the graphic sits in the text stream or on the page. Using full-page floating OR inline graphics in Word will result in exactly the same behaviour with edits in front of that content. This would result in the graphic being pages away from its associated text content when there are multi-page edits in front of the graphic.
Putting a graphic on a particular page and having the rest of the text flow independently around it is not actually what you want. Both page layout programs and Word processors have drawbacks with what you a suggesting your problem is. I think it is important to frame your issue very clearly.
It does have plenty of other features that are better than Indesign but fixed page locations for graphics is not one of them. Word simply doesn't work that way and doesn't have the flexibility of a page layout program. If you set up the text to flow independently of the graphics you can overpopulate or underpopulate the text frame to your hearts content without changing the page count or which page the graphics sit on. Indesign allows you to specify the exact page count and where every graphic sits on the page. Adobe Indesign allows you to put the graphics on whichever page you want them and then the text can flow independently around the graphics. If you want to see behaviour like a page layout program, you should use a page layout program. The graphic is never 'anchored' permanently to a particular page number because the page contents are determined on the fly depending on the content and the attributes applied to that content. If the anchor is pushed onto a new page, so is the picture. But the text will never flow around a picture that takes up the full page.
