I almost always anchor the picture AS a character on a line by itself 
with a specific character style that should keep it with the next 
paragraph, a manually inserted caption. You can see this in any of my 
macro documents. AndrewMacro and OOME are both very long with numerous 
images and they have no problems.

Years ago I had my images inside of frames, but, I found a very nasty 
bug that caused OOo to crash based on a certain set of conditions. I 
manually edited the XML in a text editor to remove the problem so that I 
could keep the document. I do believe that bug was fixed by Sun :-)
