I would very strongly suggest that you assemble your images and the captions in a separate document and then make a screen shot and insert that into the actual document
Retain the document that you used to assemble the image in case there is a requirement for edits.
All images in the document should be inserted with the Text Wrapping set to "In-Line with Text"
If you follow this procedure, the chance of your document becoming corrupted as a result of mis-matched XML tab errors will be eliminated
