Very helpful BUT--I want to place some captions to the side of the images! And it will not let me include chapter numbers in the figures, says I don't have any chapters, even through I have a nice automatically generated TOC with those chapters. The instructions it gives for fixing this latter problem are totally inscrutable.
Set the text wrapping option of your image to "top and bottom", then insert the caption, drag the caption box to the side of the image and group both objects. In regards to the chapter numbers: Are you absolutely sure that you've used a multilevel list for the chapter headings? So, are your chapter headings automatically being numbered? If not, this is the problem.
Hi! I have always done it like this before, and it worked, but now if I try exactly the same way, the caption doesn't have white circles around to select, it has grey ones, and I cannot group it with the picture. Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Hi Carmen, not sure why exactly this happens. Make sure that the document version is up to date and that your image is really an image file like JPG or PNG and not something else. And then of course also check for the text break setting.
I have/had the same problem. I tried everything I could think of (different keyboards, other images, ...), but there were always the gray corners on the caption box and couldn't select both boxes. I made a new document, did ctrl-A ctrl-C in the old document and ctrl-v in the new one and now it works perfectly. I just hope it didn't messed up something else.
@@LeonRenner ah ok, thanks it works now. I always use "in line with text" so now I need to get used to "top and bottom" I thought this is not important!
@@ChecvI happen to be watching this video 10 months later from your comment but I figured it out if using current MacBook Air, you press the COMMAND key! (Not the control key)
If you wanna spread some 💗 please smash the 👍 button, so I can make more videos like this in the future. Thank you! 💗💗
THANK YOU!!! This was the most annoying problem, and I could not figure it out and nothing else on the internet was helpful. MUCH APPRECIATED!!
You’re very welcome 😊❤️
Thanks for the simple explanation.
Hey Data, thanks for the feedback 😊💗

@@re_Create This is caused by compatibility settings. To fix that go to "File" → "Info" → "Convert".
Now, you can group your image with its caption.
Thank you.. Good tutorial
You're welcome, Eric 😊❤
very useful but I'm not able to select the caption! when I insert caption it is like any other text in the document not like a box text !!!
Hi Yamen, are you inserting the label on a picture or on another object? And did you make sure, that the layout settings are not the default one? 😊
@@LeonRenner ah ok, thanks it works now. I always use "in line with text" so now I need to get used to "top and bottom" I thought this is not important!
How do you do control key to drug it to the image?
I don't really understand the questions. You have to hold the CTRL key down, that's already it 😊
How do you add the caption to the side of the image?
The added caption is a text box. The text box can be turned by 90°. So, I would try this approach
@@LeonRenner A much better way is to use a two-by-one table to place the picture and text side by side.
How to hold caption and pic together I can't understand
It's explained in the video
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m using MAC word but I’m not able to select the imagine and caption at the same time
