How to add a caption to an image in Pages How does one create a caption for an image in Pages? In Word it is easy, you simply right click on the image and “Insert Caption…”, but I cannot find any way to do it at all in Pages?

You can set a ‘Description’ on an image, however that only affects voiceover, which I do appreciate! But I also want the ability to move the image and it’s caption together.

I am using Pages 5.5.2, I understand that this is easier in Pages ’09, but I don't have that version anymore…

Edit: The only method that I have found that vaguely works is to create a new text box, manually make the text box the same size as the image, and text, set the paragraph style to caption, and, finally, group the image and the text box together so that they are treated as a unit. I hope that there is a simpler way that I have just missed somehow!
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.
