Caption with graphic keeps going to next page, for no discernable reason.

Question

I have had this problem several times, and the only way I've been able to solve it is in the Ancored Frame menu:

and selecting "page."

So here is a graphic with no caption on page 28, because for no reason, the caption has jumped to the next page. I've tried shrinking the graphic to the size of a pea, and there is PLENTY of space on the page for the caption, but it STILL jumps to the next page!

And here is the caption on the next page:

How do I fix this?

What do you mean by accessibily? What would be the problem.

By accessability he means the use of screen readers. You can have a pdf document read aloud to you by using a screen reader. Creating documents that the screen reader software can understand and read correctly, can be challenging sometimes. The software can not "see" a graphic in a document. It needs to be told, that there is a graphic and you need to tell the reader what the graphic shows. A screen reader reads the text from one end to another, but if it encounters a table with a number of columns and rows, you may need to "explain" to the screen reader, what is shown in the table. Acessibility is one of many standards your document may need to conform to satisfy - for instance - customers who cater to visually impaired.

There are any number of ways to accomplish caption-below-figure in FM. The simple an obvious one, Anchored Frame above current paragraph, does not exist. So here's one way to do it. This example presumes that what's desired are centered figures & captions.

Two task-specific Paragraph Formats are needed, arbitrarily named: FigureAnchor and Caption.
For the test I ran, these were derived from the current Body format, with the following differences:

¶FigureAnchor:
/Basic\
Alignment: Center
☑ Next Para Tag: [Caption]
/Pagination\
Keep with: ☐ Previous ☑ Next
Widow/Orphan Lines: 4 (or whatever your largest caption is +1)
/Numbering\
{probably none, due to shoving AF around}

¶Caption:
/Basic\
Alignment: Center
☑ Next Para Tag: [Body] {if any}
/Pagination\
Keep with: ☑ Previous ☐ Next
Widow/Orphan Lines: 4 (or whatever your largest caption is +1)
/Numbering\
{as desired}

⊥Select the FigureAnchor para.
Insert🞃
Anchored Frame…
Position: At Insertion Point
Width: / Height: {as desired}

It would be important for the preceding/following paras to not have Keep With Next/Prev set. Once in place, the fig+cap acts like a single object on reflow.
