Caption of figures/tables

Post by veerle »

Hi.
I would like to place my “caption” of my tables and figures at the left side of my paper over the whole length of my paper and not just over the length of my figure. I’m using \usepackage{caption}, not \usepackage{caption2}, so “noonline” doesn’t work now.
I also want to know how to adapt the space between the caption and the figure/table.
Thank you.

But it should since the option "nooneline" was introduced in version 1.4 (1995/01/30) of the caption package and is still a valid option in its current version 3.1.

This can be done by altering the length \abovecaptionskip. If you use the caption package version 3.0d or newer this can be done by

Code: Select all

\captionsetup{skip=5pt}
too. (See user manual of the caption package for details.)
