Want Picture Caption without a Label or Numbering
I would like to put a caption under an image (a photo), but I don't want
the caption to have a label or any auto-numbering. Steps: right-click on an image in a Word document / Caption... I know I can de-select "exclude label from caption" to get rid of the label (e.g., "Figure"), but how to I tell Word to not also add a number?

Want Picture Caption without a Label or Numbering
If you don't need a label or numbering, then you don't need the caption
feature. Just type the caption as an ordinary text paragraph, applying the Caption paragraph style if desired. -- Suzanne S.

But this might not work for when e.g., the caption is to be left aligned with the image (difficult if the image is centered or custom-placed), and for the caption to "stick" to the image (and not have the image at the bottom of one page and the caption at the top of the next page). I might be able to get around this via SHIFT+ENTER (to left-align) and marking the image "paragraph as "Keep with next" (to make it "stick"). But it would be a lot simpler if Word allowed to create a caption without numbering. -- Enhancement request!?

Want Picture Caption without a Label or Numbering
A caption in an ordinary text paragraph is no different from any other text
paragraph in this regard. And if you are inserting captions for wrapped pictures, then they are being inserted in text boxes, which (in Word 2003 and earlier) won't work, anyway, as the Table of Figures can't see them. An alternative is to make both picture and caption inline and then put both in a frame. -- Suzanne S.

Hello Peter
Peter Reaper wrote: But it would be a lot simpler if Word allowed to create a caption without numbering. -- Enhancement request!? alternatively to what Suzanne is writing, you can also (with InlinePictures) create a paragraph style for the pictures and set it to "Keep with Next." That way, it will stick to the caption paragraph (unless the pictures fills an entire page, of course).
