Dear Sunter - It's not orphaning I'm worried about so much as the next
line of text being pushed over the page break. But this info on always
keeping the caption with the image is very useful. Thanks.

Matthew,
Another tip:
Create a style called 'Image' (say). In the style specification, set
Format/Paragraph/Line and page breaks to 'Keep with next'.
Provided your caption is under your image, the image and the caption
will always be on the same page.
Of course, if your caption is above your image, apply 'keep with next'
to the Caption style instead.
Bede

Thanks to Suzy and Judith for the 'style' solution - I'll keep
this in mind for future work. Strict pagination on the current job
demands mean only a v flexible method will work: so that (even) single
lines don't get shuffled over to the next page. It takes more time to
set up text boxes, but the absence of any 'template' in terms of
position means I get exactly what I need on each page.

Hi Matthew
I set captions up as a style. Then they look uniform with one
click.

MS-Word 2007 captioning is not very flexible and I want just to
use a series of text boxes containing plain text centred instead. Anyone
else come across this shortcoming of MS-Word 2007? Did you arrive at a
different solution? Information welcome.
Matt
