And actually, if an image is not intended to be floating, but (as seen 
in majority of cases) is a part of normal text flow, then the frame 
could be not needed at all - simply add an image anchored as character, 
then add a paragraph with required style and numbering range field, then 
continue with other paragraphs. This makes the document structure 
clearer. Just an advise based on own experience.
