General ⇒ Images

[Marco110981]

Hello,

I am trying to insert images(and I could succesfully do it), but on the top of the page containing the figure, file's path shows up as well. How can I explain LATEX I do not want that?

I have been saving my figure on openoffice and after that exporting it as a pdf file.
Do you think that converting it to an .eps file would improve quality?

Also, I would like to know if there are any kind of commands (I suspect there are...) to modify figure's capture (position, dimension, style etc...).

Thank you for your help!
bye
Marco

There is nothing you have to explain to LaTeX. Just avoid blank spaces in both the name and the complete path of the file. Alternatively you can use the grffile package from the oberdiek bundle.

No. Both are vector based formats. This is only important when deciding to compile with latex instead of pdflatex.

The caption package lets you customize your float captions in many ways.
