If that's what you want, then you will have to do something like redefine the
\@makecaption macro that is used to set the caption. I tried redefining
\fnum@figure to do nothing, but that leaves the : in front of the caption.
Here's the definition from article.cls:
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{#1: #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa \hsize
#1: #2\par
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb@xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
#1 is what you don't want. If you never want it, then you can just replace
#1: #2 with #2 and be done with it. If you want it in some cases but not
others, that is more complicated.
Thanks, I'll experiment with this. Possibly worth considering some option for
this in LyX at some point?
I also notice a lot of people want to have images with captions which don't act
as floats.

Removing figure numbers
Hi there, I am writing a report about a project I was running (in my signature for those curious :) and I would like to have captions for my images. By using directly inserted graphics there seems to be no way to do this. I tried using floated graphics but here the problem is that each caption gets the text Figure 1: to it. This is something I don't want as the images are there just to liven up the story, and I do not refer to them. I found a hack to remove the figure number, but the Figure : text still remains. Am I missing some really obvious option? -- Kristoffer Lawson, Co-Founder, Scred // http://www.scred.com/ http://travellingsalesman.mobi - 1km The world's most arctic startups
