By "manually" I mean I first create a frame, then I insert the pic into the frame and anchor it to the frame. Then I caption the FRAME (not the pic).
I can see how a table could work. But it may not stop the pics from disappearing (although maybe it would). Someone else said they worked around the disappearance problem (in an earlier version) by using links instead of embedding. I'm considering doing this for all 90 pics (but with my luck I can imagine the links disappearing). Either way, I have to handle 90 pics. Thanks for your input.
