Continued float caption
Hi. For continued floats, I am required to place all of the captions on the initial page of the figure. On the following page(s), I am required to put the text "Figure x continued" above the top subfigure and flush with the left margin. No text is to go below the subfigures on the secondary pages. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is possible to do in LaTeX? I am currently using the subfig package. I can get the subfigure captions to appear on the initial page, but I have not been able to get the "Figure x continued" to appear properly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Continued float caption
It sounds to me that you want to have an own caption label format for continued floats, using \DeclareCaptionLabelFormat and \captionsetup. Please take a peek at the caption package documentation, section "3.3 Continued Floats".
(The caption package is loaded and used by the subfig package.)
The caption package documentation can be found here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... b/caption/
but a local copy should be shipped with your TeX distribution.
(caption-eng.pdf is the English one)

Re: Continued float caption
Thanks for the reply. The \DeclareCaptionLabelFormat and \captionsetup have helped me create the "Figure x continued" portion for continued floats using the following commands:
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{continued}{#1 #2 continued}
\captionsetup[ContinuedFloat]{labelformat=continued}
However, I have not been able to figure out how to place the "Figure x continued" portion at the top of the page above the figures on the second page. When I used the "position=top" it simply moved the the subfigure captions (such as (c) and (d)) to above the subfigures. I would like to keep these below the subfigures if possible. That command also left the "Figure x continued" at the bottom of the page. Any ideas? This is not my formatting of choice, just trying to follow rules. Thanks for any help.
