Recently we were talking about some of the problems of having graphics in frames along with the captions, and I mentioned that when converting the ODT to wiki format, the captions got lost.

I am delighted to report that OOo 2.3 contains an export filter to wikimedia format and it retains the captions within the frames -- unlike the set of macros I had been using (Writer2MediaWiki).

Since 2.3 also appears to save graphics in frames to Word DOC format the way it should (in contrast to the problems Andrew P reported with 2.2.1, it seems that two of the main objections to retaining our style of enclosing graphics and captions in a frame have been overcome.

However, I do not have a problem with anyone putting the graphic and caption in separate paragraphs if they prefer to do it that way. I do that sometimes myself, for various reasons.
