Frame Maker - Image caption

Question

How can we add image caption in a Frame Maker document, as in a word document?

I have created a style called Image caption, where the font is bold. But there is no image number. Manually, I have added numbers. But the drawback is that if I insert another image in between the existing paragraphs, then I have to update the image numbers manually. Please let me know, if there is a way to create a Paragraph style, so that Image numbers are also updated automatically.

Assuming you want "Figure 123"Format > Paragraph > DesignerParagraph Tag: [ Image caption ]Properties: [ Numbering ] Autonumber Format:[ F:Figure\ ]"F:" specifiies counter F, so that other auto-numbered paragraphs won't disrupt caption numbers."\ " is a non-breaking space, useful for cross-referencing captions near right margins."" increments counter F, which starts at 0, so the first caption defaults to 1, depending on book numbering properties.The auto-numbering works correctly if the caption paragraph is located:in normal Flow A,in a Table cell anchored to Flow A,in a text frame within an anchored frame, but only in the case where there is a single text frame containing a caption in that anchored frame, orin a table cell in a text frame in an anchored frame, also subject to the single-text-frame-caption ruleIf you have more than one text frame in an anchored frame, they all get the same auto-number (up through FM9, anyway). This probably isn't a defect.I don't know what happens if you use unanchored frames, as they are unwise for multiple more serious reasons.
