Photos In a Word Document

SerialNumberOne

I have reports that contain an attachment of photographs taken during
a visit to a client site. These are always presented in a 4"x6"
horizontal or 6"x4" vertical. Each photo requires a caption. Each
phot has be centered on the page. What is the best way to do this.
Make a text box, then insert the photo? Or just insert the photo? I
would like to make this an automated process where the user just has
to insert the photo, write the caption with out having to think about
positioning boxes etc.

Thanks

The way I do this is to create a two-row, single-column table with alignment
set to Center. The top row is set to an exact height that will accommodate
the photo. The bottom row is set to auto height, with the text in a style
that has some Space Before and After. I usually just Copy/Paste to get
additional copies, but if the table were saved as an AutoText entry, it
could easily be inserted as many times as needed. Be sure to format the
paragraph in the top cell as "Keep with next" so that photo and caption will
stay together. For the vertical photos, you would need a different table.

Is it possible to have a caption showing the file name of the photo appear automatically instead of having to write it manually

You need to change the wrapping from In Line With Text to something else.
And you may still not be able to rotate it in versions before Word 2002.
