Keeping the caption with the figure (tables, etc)

[domnotdum]

You insert a caption to label a table, figure, picture or whatever..
But you can't use 'keep with next'. So, often the caption may become
separated from the item.

Any idea?

domnotdum,
Look at this thread for an excellent explanation on how to proceed:

-- well.. thanks Luc, but I did open that link. It explains how to insert a
caption, OK. but, still does not explain how to make sure that the caption is
not separated from the figure. Often they can be separated... it's a real
pain because you need to return, return to put it back with the pic. Then,
any modification will demolish the effort.
Putting the caption and the figure in a text box is time consuming and does
work to keep the sequencing.
Do you have any other idea?
Thanks a lot.

-- Thanks Luc. But it does not explain how to keep caption and figurs
together.. just how to create captions.

Any other hint?
Thanks a lot for your advice.

See:

If both the item you want to caption and the caption are in the text layer
(i.e. normal paragraphs), you can use “Keep with nextâ€. Are your captions in
text boxes? If you select a graphic with wrapping style “In line with textâ€,
then select Insert > Reference > Caption, the caption will be inserted in the
text layer as a normal paragraph. On the other hand, if the graphic has
another wrapping style, the caption will be inserted in a text box.

Why can't you use keep with next?
