Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table without table number

[Mir]

How can I have table caption without table number?

You could either typeset the caption for yourself (without label and number the caption is usually just plain text) or use \caption* offered by the caption package.

Hi Mir,

if you want to suppress only the number but retaining the name ("Table"), then you could redefine the \thetable command, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!ht]
  \renewcommand\thetable{}
  \centering
  \rule{5cm}{3cm}% to simulate a table
  \caption{a test table}
  \label{tab:test}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Thank you.
