TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A solution to this issue is to use anchors instead of hard returns. The
Advanced Layout feature in the Format Picture menu can be used to lock the
anchor and move the picture along with the associated paragraph. The anchor
will be visible when the picture option selected is other than In Line With
Text, and the Show/Hide paragraph marks feature is enabled. The object will
be moored to the paragraph, so the picture will remain on the same page as
the paragraph. If the picture/paragraph pair is scrolled to the bottom of
the page and pass the footer (as a result of the insertion of text/pictures
preceding the anchored object), they will be automatically moved to the
proceeding page.

In one of the messages in the "Applying on-line" thread
someone(sorry, don't remember who) stated that hard returns in a
Word doc are a Bad Thing. Within a paragraph, they most
certainly are. But I find myself using them to place figures
because Word allows figures to run off the bottom of the page.
Adding lines to push them to the next page is an ugly solution
to the problem that is a pain in the neck to update as the
document evolves. Is there an, ahem, *professional* way to keep
figures from dripping off the bottoms of pages?
Thanks for your thoughts.
