keep text and picture together

User has Word 2003 SP3

User puts maps followed by "Figure XX text" into her document and wants to
assure a page break will not break between the maps and the "Figure XX text"
and so far we can't do that. We've selected the text and graphic and applied
"keep text together" and I've tried inserting a manual line break between and
again applying "keep text together" but it still page breaks in between. The
maps do not always fall at the top of a page so "keep with next" or "page
break before" don't always work either. Any other ideas?

Note that "Keep with next" applies only to paragraphs of text (and to table
rows). You can't use it for floating objects and their captions. Make sure
to insert the maps "In line with text" (click Format | object_type_here,
and then click the Layout tab) place the caption in the following paragraph;
that way, "Keep with next" would work properly.

Thanks for the idea. We ended up dropping both the map and the text into a
one-cell table with the lines removed and allow to break turned off. It
worked so well we setup a macro and put it on the toolbar. Crude but fast
and it works.

One of the nice things about Word is that there's almost always more than
one way to skin a cat. If you need to wrap text around picture and caption,
you can wrap the table cell or use a frame.
