AutoCaption options
Do you want OOo to automatically insert captions for tables, pictures,
frames, and OLE objects that have been inserted in a Writer
document?
Note
You may not always want captions for every table, for example,
if you use tables for layout as well as for tables of data. You
can always add captions to individual tables, graphics, or other
objects (right-click > Caption).
If you do want automatic captions on one or more object types:
1) Choose OpenOffice.org Writer > AutoCaption on the Options
dialog box.
2) On the OpenOffice.org Writer – AutoCaption page (Figure 51),
select the check box next to an object you want to be
automatically captioned (Picture in the example shown).
3) With the item highlighted, specify the characteristics of the
caption. The supplied categories for captions are Drawing,
Illustration, Table, and Text. However, you are not limited to the
supplied categories. If you want to use another name (for
example, Figure) for the caption label, type the required term in
the box. In the example shown, I have added the category
“Figure” to the list.
Additional information about numbering captions by chapter, character
styles, frame styles, and other items on the AutoCaption page, is given
in later chapters in the Writer Guide.
