text flow around graphic

[Carla]

I have picture that takes an entire page in my document.
If I put the use the layout in line with text feature, I
end up with big spaces between the end of the text and
the picture. Is there a way to tell word to fill in the
blank space on the preceding page with the text that
follows the picture?

This picture has a caption. The picture itself is in a
landscape orientation (turned sideways), though the page
number is still in a portrait orientation. I think I
would like the caption to appear below the picture, that
is, so that if one is looking at the picture (with the
page sideways) the caption is oriented in the same
direction as the picture. Word only gives the option to
put a caption above or below, not rotated sideways. Is
there a way to tell word to do this?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... sorry for
the convoluted descriptions of simple things... I didn't
know how else to desccribe these things.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There's no way to wrap text around a full-page illustration; either it's
inline (in which case it can fill the page), or it's wrapped (in which case
it has to be anchored to a text paragraph on the page, and text won't wrap
around that). As for the caption, I would suggest putting the graphic and
caption in two cells of a one-row, two-column table and rotating the text in
the caption cell.
