In word 2002 I learned to insert a frame into which I could place an
image and its caption. This allowed me to position the image exactly
where I wanted it on the page.
How does one insert such a frame in Word 2007?
Thanks.

You could insert a text box or a frame in Word 2007, but really there is no
need to do so. Simply change the wrap if the image to something other than
in line with text and you can drag it around the page at will.

Thank you for replying. My problem is more complex. For example when I
am positioning 2 images next to each other horizontally, when I create
captions for each it is messy to get the captions correctly placed under
each. By placing both the image and its caption within a frame I can
position them accurately relative to each other without messing up the
other image and its caption.

I prefer to use a frame rather than a text box because I also create an
index list of illustrations for all my illustrations and Word cannot see
the captions in a text box to automatically include them in that "index
of illustrations".

So where do I find the "Insert frame" in Word 2007. I've looked
everywhere for it.

Add the 'Insert Frame' command from the All Commands group to the QAT (Quick
Access Toolbar). However to position two images alongside one another I
would suggest the user of a borderless two cell table with fixed column
width.

Using a table is an excellent idea. I wonder if Word sees the captions
in a table to create a index of illustrations. (This is for a book).

Thanks for the info about the Insert Frame. I had previously searched
for it and not found it, but now I did. I guess I looked in the wrong
places.

BTW, I get a feeling you do not like using frames in a Word document. I
would appreciate knowing why using frames could be a problem.
