I have in the meantime figured out how to do captions by inserting a 
field. But I have to apologize for phrasing badly the main problem, and 
for using incorrect terminology. The real problem is making independent 
FRAMES, not pages.

Inserting the first image creates a frame in which the image is embedded. 
When I try to insert a second image (either directly or by first making a 
frame) the new frame comes out superimposed on the first one. What I 
want, of course, is to place the new frame BELOW the earlier one (the 
images are essentially page size, so below is the only place to put 
them).

What I don't see is how to break out of the existing frame.
