Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ change figure caption

[laurama]

Hi all,
I would like to change the figures and tables captions from say:
Figure 1:
to
Figure S1:
I know I need to use the caption package, but cannot find the correct option
any ideas?
thanks

You could try:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\thefigure}{S\arabic{figure}}

in the preamble. (Or similarly:)

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\thetable}{S\arabic{table}}

If that's the only change you want to make, then there's no need for the caption package. (Though it shouldn't hurt to load it either.)

If that doesn't work, or you need more specific advice, then please provide a minimal working example as suggested in the Board Rules.
