Thanks for the info. However, I'm not placing the pics in a frame and then in another frame. Each pic is inserted into one frame. Then I caption the frame. The pic is anchored to the frame. I do this manually. If you select autocaption, I believe it does the same thing. I've never heard of inserting pics into a table (I guess you mean a 1x1 table. Is this the officially recommended way of handling pictures with captions? Also, I'm only using .odt files. I believe a frame is only inserted around a pic if you use autocaption. If you don't use autocaption I believe it justs places a caption above or below the pic.
