Which Text Wrapping option has been selected for the object (and its caption)? Which specific positioning options do you see in the Layout dialog box? (To display the dialog box, right-click the object border, click Wrap Text, and then click More Layout Options.)

To be more precise, you need an option that positions the objects relative to text paragraphs, not relative to the page edge or margin.

It's all rather convoluted, but not impossible of course.

"In line with text" does have certain advantages. It's worth considering.
