The approach I take is to use a table to keep the image & caption together.
The following macro embeds all Shapes & InlineShapes in a document in tables as InlineShapes with a row for Captions. Whatever positioning applied to the original Shape object will apply to the table also.
As coded, the ‘MakeImageTable’ macro limits the inserted InlineShape dimesnsions to 7.5*5.0cm. That code can, of course, be edited/omitted, in which case, so can the corresponding code that re-sizes the inserted InlineShape to fit. The macro also defaults to generating its own captions, but you can drag your own captions (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.) into the table and replace the auto ones.
Note that, due to the extra space taken up by the caption row, all except for the first of the document's pictures are liable to shift position.
Code:
Sub AddImageCaptionTables()
Dim iShp As InlineShape, Rng As Range, Tbl As Table
Dim i As Long, PicWdth As Single, PicHght As Single, VPos As Single
Dim HPos As Single, VRel As Long, HRel As Long, BShp As Boolean
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .InlineShapes.Count
If .InlineShapes(i).Range.Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then
PicWdth = .InlineShapes(i).Width
Set Rng = .InlineShapes(i).Range
With Rng
If .Characters.Last.Next.Text = vbCr Then .Characters.Last.Next.Text = vbNullString
PicWdth = .InlineShapes(1).Width
PicHght = .InlineShapes(1).Height
.InlineShapes(1).Range.Cut
End With
BShp = False: VRel = 0: HRel = 0: VPos = 0: HPos = 0
Call MakeImageTable(Rng, PicWdth, PicHght, BShp, VRel, HRel, VPos, HPos)
End If
Next
While .Shapes.Count > 0
BShp = True
With .Shapes(1)
PicWdth = .Width
PicHght = .Height
VRel = .RelativeVerticalPosition
HRel = .RelativeHorizontalPosition
VPos = .Top
HPos = .Left
Set iShp = .ConvertToInlineShape
End With
With iShp
Set Rng = .Range
.Range.Cut
End With
Call MakeImageTable(Rng, PicWdth, PicHght, BShp, VRel, HRel, VPos, HPos)
Wend
End With
End Sub
Sub MakeImageTable(Rng As Range, PicWdth As Single, PicHght As Single, BShp As Boolean, _
VRel As Long, HRel As Long, VPos As Single, HPos As Single)
Dim Tbl As Table, sngScl As Single, iShp As InlineShape
'Constrain maximum image size
If PicWdth > CentimetersToPoints(7.5) Then
sngScl = PicWdth / CentimetersToPoints(7.5)
PicWdth = PicWdth / sngScl
PicHght = PicHght / sngScl
End If
If PicHght > CentimetersToPoints(5) Then
sngScl = PicHght / CentimetersToPoints(5)
PicWdth = PicWdth / sngScl
PicHght = PicHght / sngScl
End If
'Create & format the table
Set Tbl = Rng.Tables.Add(Range:=Rng, Numrows:=2, NumColumns:=1)
With Tbl
.Borders.Enable = True
.Columns.Width = PicWdth
.TopPadding = 0
.BottomPadding = 0
.LeftPadding = 0
.RightPadding = 0
.Spacing = 0
.Rows(1).HeightRule = wdRowHeightExactly
.Rows(1).Height = PicHght
With .Rows
.LeftIndent = 0
If BShp = True Then
.WrapAroundText = True
.HorizontalPosition = HPos
.RelativeHorizontalPosition = HRel
.VerticalPosition = VPos
.RelativeVerticalPosition = VRel
.AllowOverlap = False
End If
End With
With .Cell(1, 1).Range
With .ParagraphFormat
.SpaceBefore = 0
.SpaceAfter = 0
.LeftIndent = 0
.RightIndent = 0
.FirstLineIndent = 0
.KeepWithNext = True
End With
.Paste
' Resize the inserted InlineShape
Set iShp = .InlineShapes(1)
With iShp
.Width = PicWdth
.Height = PicHght
End With
End With
With .Cell(2, 1).Range
.Style = "Caption"
.End = .End - 1
.InsertAfter vbCr
.InsertCaption Label:="Figure", TitleAutoText:=" ", Title:="", _
Position:=wdCaptionPositionBelow, ExcludeLabel:=0
.Characters.First.Text = vbNullString
.Paragraphs.First.Range.Characters.Last.Text = vbNullString
.Borders(wdBorderLeft).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
.Borders(wdBorderRight).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
.Borders(wdBorderTop).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
End With
End With
End Sub
To work with just the selected image (or multiple images in a selected range), change:
With ActiveDocument
to:
With Selection
and change:
While .Shapes.Count > 0
With .Shapes(1)
to:
While .ShapeRange.Count > 0
With .ShapeRange(1)
To have the caption row appear above the image, instead of below, change the Rows(1) references to Rows(2), change the Cell(1, 1) references to Cell(2, 1) and change the change the Cell(2, 1) references to Cell(1, 1).
