Hi Matt It depends on how you want to use the captions - ie do you want the captions to be sequentially number and to turn up in a Table of Figures or Table of Tables etc. Or are you just wanting something that is centred. Either way, I wouldn't use text boxes - you are choosing a method in Word that is difficult to manage in bulk. If 2007's Insert Caption function doesn't provide you with the options you want, don't use it - and instead create a Caption style - I'm not sure how to do this in 2007. Give the Caption style the properties you want, ie space above/below and centered. And if you want your captions have a prefix with a number, ie "Figure # Caption Text Example", you could also give the style these properties under the Numbering section. So each time you use the style, the numbering increments like Heading numbering. But as the numbering in Word 2007 is still as fundamentally flawed as it has been in previous version, I would do the numbering in a different way: 1. Create a paragraph, and Type: Figure 2. Insert a SEQ field - Ctrl + F9 should do this, call it the Figure sequence. Your field will look like {SEQ Figure \n } Shift+F9 toggles the field back to display the result. 3. Apply the Caption style (you created earlier) to the paragraph 4. Save it as Autotext. Your paragraph text is now: Figure # Each time you need a caption, insert the Autotext. HTH Suzy
