Description mherring 2002-12-04 13:58:01 UTC 
This is a general comment targetted at the global treatment of captions---I 
will submit some specific issues also.

The overall treatment of captions is inconsistent and lacking some features.  
For example, graphics and OLEs get captions created as frames, whereas tables 
just get some added text.  In many cases, captions dont get bound to their 
target---or get unbound when manipulating.
There should be a formatting menu when creating a caption--eg to center it.
Also, it might be better to have a caption feature tied to each object 
creation/format menu.
Captions applied to frames dont do a logical thing.

I have experienced these problems too. In the attached document you 
will find that:


1. Captions created in frames (right click -> caption) behave 
correctly. 




2. Captions created inline don't. But they are needed, for example to 
label equations.

Comment 5 magrawal 2003-04-24 22:26:06 UTC 
Just to add to me earlier comment, I created the captions as numebr 
range fields.




"Taming writer" suggests that the defined behavior of inline captions 
is as I have described. But there should be a way to create inline 
captions. For example:


y = 2x + 3           (Equation 1)
