Modifying Table Title Caption alignment & look

Post by kiki »

Hello,

I have tables and I don't like that the titles: \caption{title} is centered and extends beyond the table horizontal width. I would like my title to start on the left side and go only the table width, then continue on second line if needed, etc:

Table 1. The table titles should
all look like this with remarkable
consistence, 2010.
_________________________________

Not like this:

Table 1. The table titles all look like this now & it is silly looking
_________________________________


I would greatly appreciate some tips on how I can modify the caption look. Thank you!

Hi,

if your goal is to adjust the caption width to equal the natural width of your floating objects, then the floatrow package might be helpful.
