How to insert multiple pictures into a textbox with captions?

[q0987]

Hello all,

I need to insert more than one pictures into one page of MS word 2003 document.

Here is what I did
1> Create a blank Word document
2> Insert a textbox
3> Select the inside of the created textbox and insert a picture
4> Insert->Reference->Caption->Figure
MS Word2003 will addd Figure 1 for me
5> Select the line below the caption Figure 1 of the first picture
6> Insert another picture
7> Insert->Reference->Caption->Figure
MS Word2003 will addd Figure 2 for me

The problem is that the original Figure 1 will be changed to Figure 2 too. In other words, both pictures have the caption read as Figure 2....

Is there a way that I can insert multiple pictures into a textbox and insert multiple captions too?


Thank you
-Daniel

Why do you want to insert them into a textbox at all?

You don't need a text box, you may want to use a table so that you can arrange them like you what on the page. Use inline with text. Turn the borders of the table off. You can get really creative useing tables.
