General ⇒ Floating Figures, caption font size and spacing

[mattjgalloway]

I've got a quick question about floating figures I was wondering if someone could answer please...

I use floatfig package and floatingfigure environment, but the caption it puts is different to that of normal figures. Normal figures use single spacing even though my document is set to one-half spacing (which is the action I want to happen) and the normal figures use small font rather than the normal font size. My floating figures all seem to have normal font size and one-half spacing which is what I want to try to control!

Any ideas?

Floatfig is obsolete (it' a LaTeX 2.09 package) and has been replaced by floatflt. You also can use wrapfig or picins.

Controlling (almost) everything in captions layout can be easily performed by way the caption package.

Oh yeh, I was using floatflt, sorry I got the wrong package name.

I'll have a look into the captions package - seems to not be working correctly for me at the moment, but I'm sure I'll figure out what to do!

Thanks!
