Hi,

Is it possible to put captions to images embedded in an anchored object? I can't do it
Thank you for your help (indesign 17)

InDesign's caption feature is... limited. The only workflow that allows consistent results with relative ease is to group each image with a text frame, use Object Styles for consistent management, and anchor each group.

No, James is correct, captions won't work with an embedded anchored object.

 

Here's a good description of how Captions do work:
