No Richard, it is never too late for another coffee - especially with a
dram of drambue!
We had to modify the corporate style guide to move the figure captions
above the graphic, however once the "powers that be" observed the
problem John Posada is running into, objections to the modifications
dropped away like a snow flake in the Sahara! Our customers quite
complaining!

Ok, sorry, I am moving too fast this afternoon. Our users with trackballs
did NOT like the single page feature.
Is it too late for another coffee?

captions above the
figures is a kludge -- which is why we put captions above the figures.
Captions above make more sense anyway -- tell the reader what you're
going to show them before you show it, not after."
We played all of these "kludge" games and gave up on them. Our users with
trackballs did like the single page layout, either. Ultimately, we changed
our Style Guide to put captions at the top of our figures (and tables). No
one has complained since we made that shift. Honestly, I think it makes
more sense to have the captions at the top of the figure anyway, from a
"linear read" perspective.
