    I research more and it seems to be only in the HTML that I can do it. There is no way to do that in InDesign?

    Second question: if I do it in the HTML, and later my client wants a change and I have to open the InDesign and make a change, do I lose then all the changes I did in the HTML?

    Are you grouping them and then anchoring the group in the text flow?

    Have you watched Anne-Marie’s videos at Lynda.com or LinkedInLearning?

    I have my caption in the text flow, my image is anchored after.

    maybe im suppose to have the caption also in a separate text box and group that to the image, then anchor it?

    Yes, you need to group the graphic frame and the text frame together, and then anchor the group into the text flow. (Groups act like a single object.)

    ok, I got back in the text thread, but I lost my ‘relative to text flow’ size. now its fixed even if I gave it ‘relative to text flow’ setting in my object style. .

    The behavior of groups depends on your version of InDesign. So this is the first question, that needs to be answered.

    Isabelle, if you want some help, you should be more specific! A correct answer would be e.g. CC Vers. 9.3. or CC 2015.4 or … It would also be helpful, if you can provide an example of one page with image/caption.

    To your second question: If you make changes and export a new epub, you will of course lost all your edits in the html.

    I’m using InDesign CC 2018. I did group caption frames with graphics, then anchor them.
    It doesn’t work well.
    The captions are not really treated by InDesign as part of a single object–they float below the picture by way too much space, rather than being tucked neatly under it as part of a package, as you would expect. (This is no matter what above/below space you select, for the ePub as a whole or using the Object Export controls.) Also: although you can specify the object should be left-aligned, the resulting InDesign ePub has the pic several points right of the vertical axis, so not aligned with the text, either the caption text or the paragraphs above or below.
