Apple - How to add a caption to an image in Pages
There's no automatic way of adding a caption.
- If your image is inline, add the text below using the Caption text style.
- If your image is floating, you'll need to add a text box below the image. You can group these if you wish.
I often make a table that has two rows. Paste your image into the top cell, put your caption in the cell below, and remove the borders. The figure scales with the size of the cell and the caption moves with the text. However, I can't do this on pages in iCloud, so if you are going back and forth with iCloud editing, grouping of objects seems more robust.
I found a way to add Table Label in the Inspector for others who might be looking at how to add a caption. Click on Table in Inspector, and in the section with Header Footer select Table Label.
