Create a two-cell table format and use it for captioned graphics. Assign 
your graphic anchor paragraph format to the top cell and your caption 
paragraph format to the bottom cell. Insert the table wherever you want a 
graphic. Then import the graphic into the top cell and the type the caption 
text into the bottom cell. They'll move together.

You can take it a step further with the Autotext plugin from Silicon Prairie 
Software. It lets you create a text block that would also include the empty 
paragraph that holds the two-cell table. You can pop it all in with a menu 
click, instead of creating the table anchor paragraph and inserting the 
table separately.
