How do I make a figure stay on its own page, but move with the tex

[Rob]

The requirements for my document's format are that each figure (regardless of
size) is inserted on its own page, and should be displayed on the next page
after it is first referenced in the text. For example, if the figure is first
mentioned in the middle of page 21, the text should continue to the end of
page 21, the figure and caption should be on page 22, and the text should
continue on page 23. If the text changes so that the reference is moved to
the bottom of page 21, the figure should still be on page 22, and the
paragraphs that moved from page 21 should be on page 23. Is there a way to do
this automatically so that the figure and caption stay on the next page, by
itself, as the text changes? -Thanks.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Um9i?=,

The answer is unequivocally NO. Word cannot do this. You might be able to
achieve what you need by executing a macro on the document, to "put things back
where they belong", but that would be the extent of it.
