      I am designing a catalog for an art company. Each product photo will have one or two lines of text below each picture on the page- SKU, name of image, size etc.

      In the past, I have used indesign datamerge to create a long multipage ‘contact sheet’ of the images with their respective text below each shot. Then I rearrange the images through out the catalog according to how I feel they look best next to each other, theme etc. It is time consuming, and I would much rather just DRAG all pics into specific spreads, arrange for composition, and THEN somehow attach the anchored text below each image. Automatically.

      Is there a utility that will go through a document and automatically attach text below each image?

      This is an example of a catalog I made using the above workflow, you will see the images are not in numerical order, as they were in excel dataset.

      You may be able to accomplish this entirely with Live Captions. There’s a little bit on this topic here:
