The Acro setting may or may not work for a specific image. Single page layout just ensures that the view of the doc never spans pages. If your target (the figure caption) is in the top half or so (depending on zoom level and screen/window size), the top edge of the page appears at the top of the window instead of the fig. caption. But if the target is lower on the page, the bottom edge of the page appears at the bottom of the window, and all or part of the image itself may not appear. An alternative that hasn't been mentioned is using hypertext links instead of xrefs -- but that's a much more manual solution, both to set up and to maintain. Frankly, every solution other than putting the 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. Richard ------ Richard G.
