Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Captions without Numbers

[zjindrova]

Hi,
I would like to have captions under picture, but without numbers.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{mapa.ps}
\caption{My picture.}
\end{figure}

\caption*{} does not work, it writes "*" befor my caption.
\captionsetup - it gives error, "Undefined control sequence."

Could you help me, please?
Thanks, Zuzka

Hi Zuzka,

welcome to the board!
Do you get any error or warning? Perhaps post your .log file here as attachment to a post. It seems like the caption package is not enabled. You could also show your preamble here.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[cp1250]{inputenc}
\usepackage[czech]{babel}
\usepackage{caption}
\begin{document}
\def\figurename{} %I do not have "Fig." at least... but the number remains
\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{mapa.ps}
\caption*{map}
\captionsetup{} %this makes problem
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Package: caption v1.4b <1995/04/05> (Harald Sommerfeldt)
Undefined control sequence.
?

I downloaded an old version of caption package? Could that be the problem? But I cannot find newer.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

That's correct. The current version is 3.1m. You can get it here from CTAN. Or install it using your TeX distribution or operating system repositories, if there's package management.

latex.exe: cannost start MiKTeX package manager.
Latex error - File caption.sty not found

I downloaded it, but it needs caption.sty and that is what I did not find - the new version of caption.sty.
Or I do not know, how to install the package. All the time, I just downloaded all files, which it wanted. I do not know how to do it through LEd.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Follow the link to CTAN which I wrote in my last post.

Also, you can start the MiKTeX package manager using the Windows start menu, or by Start/Run, type cmd and in the command shell type mpm.
