Its up to the document class author (typically a typographical expert) and it is considered a "good" layout. As you are not the first to ask, there is already a latex package: The caption_ package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table. .. _caption: http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/caption.html To change it in just one "annoying" case, the quick-and-dirty aproach is OK. For a general change to the document layout, add something like the following to the document preamble (maybe in your template doc): \usepackage{caption} \captionsetup{justification=raggedleft,singlelinecheck=false} Günter
