Here are some reasons: . Convention . Readability . Discriminating between two or more figures when more than one is visible in a spread . How else would you refer to the contents of a figure other than saying 'In Figure x.x, the worgle-grommet is positioned next to the thingummy...'? . Because at some point the book is going to be converted to an e-thing, and this requires a hyperlink because most e-readers have to throw a separate 'page' for the figure. . Because the client expects it. . Because I lik emaking work for myself. ...and so on. -- Steve [Trim e-mails: use less disk, use less power, use less planet]
