Image Caption Spacing is inconsistent.

I have many images with captions in some documents that I am writing. For the most part the captions are showing exactly as I would hope and expect. I created a paragraph style named Figures v2.2 ( a lot of trial and error with autonumbering) and I have gotten it to the point where the numbering and spacing is just about how I want it but there are a few places that I can't seem to get it right.  I am not sure what is causing this but there seems to be a page break or something beween my image and the Figure 1-4 Confirm Clear Configuration caption. Shoiwing Text Symbols doesn't shed light either. Can anyone suggest a better way of doing this? Side note I am required to have a list of tables and list of figures so I am not sure that placing them in a table would work? I included a screenshot Figure 1-3 is ideal Figure 1-4 is not.

Hi Dustin,

 

Yes. The paragraph of your figure title for figure 1-4 is moved to the next page.

Can you check your pagination settings of your figure and your figure title paragraph formats?

figure: Keep with Next Paragraph

figure title: Keep with Previous Paragraph

Nothing else.

If this still should not work, you can put your graphics in a table with a single column and a single row. Then the figure title paragraph into the table title. This works also for lists of figure titles or table titles.

 

Best regards

Keeping the figure style with previous paragraph worked perfectly thank you for the suggestion!
