Change the look of the text box: Click the Style tab, then click one of the text box styles at the top of the sidebar. You can use the other controls to change the colour of the box, add a shadow to it and make other adjustments.
To group the caption with the object so they stay together, select the caption and the object, click the Arrange tab at the top of the sidebar, then click Group at the bottom of the sidebar.
To set how text wraps around the object and caption, click the Text Wrap pop-up menu near the top of the sidebar and select an option.
If you want to use the same formatting for all captions in your document, you can create a paragraph style for captions so you can easily apply the style to all the captions in your document.
