I always have the problem of my figures jumping a page forward or backward if I ad or remove some text, and by that creating a lot of secondary effect in the whole document. This is because the figure (or in my case a textbox with figure and caption) is linked to a certain line of text.


I would rather like to define that my figure stays on a certain page (and position) of my document, let's say page 3. Is there an option to do this?
thanks for any help, Hans

Change the position to relative to page.

Thank you Charles,
that is what I thought would be the way, unmark "move object with text".
But it is not doing that. If I keep adding text on page one or two, my textfield still moves from page 3 to 4 at a certain point. and I still see a little anchor indicated left of the text if I click on my textfield.
Marking "move object with text" or not does not seem to make any difference.
Is it possible that there is some settings overruling these settings?

Review again.
That textbox setting had three places to change.
Those settings will keep it in the same place on the page regardless of the position of the text.

If you move the text where you inserted the textbox to a different page, the textbox will move with it, yes.

If you want it to appear only on a certain page, i.e. page 4, you need to put it inside an IF Field in a header or footer which appears on that page. The IF field must test for the page number.

You could use the construction found here: How to control the page numbering in a Word document
Your TextBox must be inserted inside the "truetext" of the IF field.

Thanks again.
I will have a look at it.
What actually bothers me most is actually not that I need the figures at a certain page, but that it often creates a conflict. The figure is anchored to a text, but there is not enough space below the anchor and both anchor and figure are moved to the next page, leaving half of the previous page blank and by that move a lot of text forward and create the same problem with other figures in the document. I then have to anchor the figure to another paragraph. A nice option in word would be. "Allow object to move to the next page if there is not enough space below the anchor" or the other way around " "allow anchored text to move one page, but keep the figure on this one ".
