Picture Caption in Word & Group Label with Image (in 3 MINUTES | 2020)

Picture caption in Word? Let's learn how to implement it. In this tutorial I'll show you how to label an image in Word and how to group the image caption with the image itself. And of course I'll also show you how to update the numbering inside the labels and what you have to look out for when using the labeling function in Word. Because if you don't be careful with the position of the picture, the numbers in the picture label might not be in the right order.
This tutorial for #image #caption in Word should work for Word 2007, Word 2010, Word 2013, Word 2016, Word 2019 and also Office 365. This also works with Microsoft Office on a Mac and also with open source software such as OpenOffice or Libre Office.

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?

[@LeonRenner]

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.

@@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.

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.

[@LeonRenner]

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.

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 !!!

[@LeonRenner]

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? 😊

[@yamenalsyoufi1200]

@@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!

Thanks for the simple explanation.

Hey Data, thanks for the feedback 😊💗

How do you do control key to drug it to the image?

[@LeonRenner]

I don't really understand the questions. You have to hold the CTRL key down, that's already it 😊

[@tommyharris5817]

How do you add the caption to the side of the image?

[@LeonRenner]

The added caption is a text box. The text box can be turned by 90°. So, I would try this approach

[@tommyharris5817]

@@LeonRenner A much better way is to use a two-by-one table to place the picture and text side by side.

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 😊❤️

How to hold caption and pic together I can't understand

[@LeonRenner]

It's explained in the video

[@Checv]

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

[@syds2742]

@@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)
