Using the Caption dialog box
To add captions using the Caption dialog box:
-
Insert the graphic, then select it and click Insert > Caption. The Caption dialog box opens.
-
Under Properties on the Caption dialog box (Figure 242), make your selections for the Category, Numbering, and Separator fields (Illustration, Arabic (1 2 3), and a colon (:), respectively, for the example in Figure 242) and type your caption text in the Caption text box at the top. Whatever text you enter for the caption appears in the box at the bottom, after the sequence name, number, and separator.
-
Click OK. The graphic and its caption are placed in a frame, as shown in Figure 243.
TIP
|
In the Category box, you can type any name you want, for example, Figure. OOo will create a numbering sequence using that name.
