Hi,


I work with word 2013. I want an autonomous image (with caption) in a paragraph, which text split automaticaly, if necessary, before and after the image when I add or cut some text before.
Please watch the attached files. The file 1a.pdf is the original ; 1b.pdf is what I don't want, because I used in 1a.pdf a line break (maj+enter) at the end of the page (after "l'accès des", and this line break has been logicaly shifted in the following page of 1b.pdf ; what I really want is 1c.pdf, in which I used a line break at the end of the page, but I want that word makes this automatically ! I want an autonomous image (with caption), attached to a specific paragraph, which can be automaticaly splited, if necessary, for keeping the image in the top of the page (or, if I want, in the bottom). This way, I could add or cut some text before, whitout destroy the layout.
Is it possible ?
Thank you !

You can achieve what you're after by inserting the image & caption into a textbox formatted with top & bottom wrapping, horizontally-aligned to the centre of the page and vertically-aligned to the top of the page. See attached.

Yes, thank you ! It's quite perfect.
But if I add some lines, it adds not desired blank spaces in the layout.
Please watch the attached files.
A.pdf : original and good layout
B. pdf : +6 lines, still good
C.pdf : +7 lines, problem
D.pdf : + 9, more problem
F.pdf : + 18, back to a good layout, the same of A.pdf
Any solution for keeping a good layout without blank spaces whatever the number of added lines before ?

There is a limit to what can be achieved. Untimately, Word tries to keep floating shapes on the same page as the text to which they relate. Consequently, the image might change page periodically and, with this type of wrapping, you might end up with big gaps as Word tries to keep image & text together.

If you're trying to manage the positioning for final print purposes, it's probably best to leave the textbox formatted as in-line with text, so it moves up & down the page as necessary, and gives later content an approximation of the final layout, then only change the layouts to square top/bottom, etc. for the final editing, starting at the top of the document and working your way progressively to the bottom.
