2. Go to File > New > Document, Change the number of pages to "2" and hit "OK" to select the other default settings
3. Save your document in YOUR FOLDER (The one your edited photos are in). Name the file "Basic_captions"
4. On page one of your document, select File > Place, and navigate to your "yearbook_edit" photo. Hit "Open" and click on the page to place the photo.
5. Under the photo, use the text tool to drag an area under the photo. Type a full caption.
