2 table questions: align caption & notes environment

Localghost,

Just give the option singlelinecheck=false to the caption package as described in the manual (Section 2.2 - Justification, p. 8f).

2 table questions: align caption & notes environment

Hi,

I just need to also like to left-align a caption to a figure, and saw this:

Thanks again for the response !! Maybe I should mention that I'm trying to use a 'portable' MikTex as per http://ftp.math.purdue.edu/mirrors/ctan.org/info/MiKTeX+Ghostscript+GSview+USB-drive-HOWTO.txt ... So, to start the package manager, I just had to start the environment, and then ...

Latex inserts blank page at end problem: package conflicts?

Hi localghost,

Thanks much for the prompt response !! First of all, I forgot to mention that I'm using Miktex 2.7 on an XP.

I did the procedure you recommended, and besides pdflatex complaining that "! Package babel Error: You haven't loaded the option english yet.", here is the file list section ...
