Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Chemstyle package and table captions

[ChemistKatie]

Hi,

I am trying to get the captions of my tables below the actual table. I am using the \usepackage{chemstyle} as I need to write chemical equations. However, this makes the table captions go above the table and I do not want this to happen.

This is a table without the chemstyle package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[singlelinecheck=false,font=footnotesize,format=plain,labelfont=bf,up,textfont=up,belowskip=-15pt,aboveskip=0pt,tableposition=bottom]{caption}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
		\begin{tabular}{p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}|p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}|}
		\cline{3-7}
& & \multicolumn{5}{|c|}{\textbf{Percentage (\%)}}\\
		\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c}\textbf{Sample} &	\textbf{pH} &	\textbf{5} &	\textbf{6} &	\textbf{7} &	\textbf{H3PO2} &	\textbf{H3PO3}\\
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c}{a}	& 2 &	27 &	64 &	3 &	1 &	4\\
\multicolumn{1}{|c}{b} &	4 &	4 &	55 &	0 &	38 &	3\\
\multicolumn{1}{|c}{c}	& 6 &	0	& 13 &	0 &	85 &	2\\
\multicolumn{1}{|c}{d}	& 10 &	0 &	0 &	0 &	99 &	1\\		
\hline
		\end{tabular}
		\caption[Comparing the percentage composition of the HPG system when synthesised at different pH ranging from pH\,2-10]{Comparing the percentage composition of the HPG system when synthesised at different pH ranging from pH\,2-10.

    \label{glypHtab}
\end{table}

\end{document}

The caption is below the table.

With the usepackage{chemstyle}

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[singlelinecheck=false,font=footnotesize,format=plain,labelfont=bf,up,textfont=up,belowskip=-15pt,aboveskip=0pt,tableposition=bottom]{caption}
\usepackage{multirow}
%\usepackage{chemstyle}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
		\begin{tabular}{p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}|p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}p{1.5cm}|}
		\cline{3-7}

Caption is above the table. Any help on how to sort this would be appreciated.

Please let me know if you need anymore information.

This is detailed in the documentation: see the section "Captions above floats". Most publishers put captions above tables, which is why chemstyle does.

Since the chemstyle package uses the floatrow package, the answer could be found within the floatrow package documentation:

Code: Select all

\floatsetup[table]{style=plain}

All sorted!

Thanks!
