Better SOP for images with image captions?

Hi,

FM 8.04, Win XP.

When I work with images that shall have image captions, I use a pre-defined one row, one column table format that has a a table caption set to below. I then import the image into the one cell.

However, in some cases I would like images be anchored at bottom of columns, rather than at top of columns (or floating). The thing is that since the anchored frame sits inside a table cell, it is the table's placement that I must change. And tables do not have the "At bottom of column" option.

Any suggestion for a better standard of procedure for "At bottom of column" images, with retained caption functionality?

TIA,
/Mats

    Hi,

    Yes, that is an option. However, I use the anchored frame to render a thin 0.25 pt black frame around the graphic, and want the caption to be outside that frame. So then I need to add another frame for the black frame.

    Mats,

    FWIW, you can also apply the outline directly to the graphic.

    Mats,

    You could always just use only anchored frames and add an additional
    text frame to the anchored frame in the proper location relative to
    the inserted graphic. Since the anchored frame is part of the flow,
    the included text frames in these behave correctly with respect to
    autonumbering and being picked up in the proper in generated lists.

    If you create the styled anchored on a Reference page (in a text frame
    of course) then you can quickly get at the proper "template" of what
    you need using copy & paste.
