Deirdre Reagan asked: > Does anyone know why FM automatically makes Table captions but not > Figure captions? Tables are well-defined encapsulated objects, and one of the properties that is defined is an optional Title object. If you define a table format to include a Title object, every table that you assign that format to will have a title frame to contain your title string. But you can also define a table format that does not have a Title. Figures, on the other hand, are not uniquely defined objects. There are at least three different methods that are commonly used to insert a figure (an anchored frame in the text flow, an unanchored frame in a fixed location on a page, or in an anchored frame in a table cell), so there is no single place where a caption property could be defined to apply in all cases. But a potentially workable solution is to always encapsulate figures in a single-cell table, since tables *do* have a defined Title object. This does limit flexibility somewhat regarding horizontal positioning (tables have their own logic of how and when to span columns and sidehead areas), but also has a few small additional benefits, like making it very easy to globally or individually add/remove border rulings around figures, and providing facilities for encapsulating notes with the figure. -FR _________________________________________________________________ It’s easy to add contacts from Facebook and other social sites through Windows Live™ Messenger.
