Well, no, I would just select the caption and figure together and drag.

Hi Suzanne,

I haven't been in Word lately, but will try it in the next couple of days.
I assume you mean Shift-click-click-move. That should work.

Why don't you just move the figure and caption together?

I think I am missing something, all due respect to Suzanne (my daughter's
name).

I just move the figure, delete the caption and reenter the caption in
the new location. I am pretty clueless about this frame/textbox routine
probably because I'm too chicken to try something new. These
out-of-control figures and their mindless captions are the bane of my
existence.

Great, thank you everyone! Suzanne, your tips worked great. Microsoft
should definitely make this functionality more intuitive, but at least
it's possible.
