How can it be too small ? I can put a work by Shakespeare in it. >-and everything you put in there appears in the figure index. Then you should try "Insert->Short Title" in the caption of the float. Only the text within this "opt" inset will be put in the figure index. In this way, you can have a brief description in the figure index (list). >I could do it in the main text, but I'd rather make sure that >it is just beside the float. So, I would put everything you need to understand the figure in the caption. Any explanation, reasoning, conclusions, remarks, details etc. in the main text. >Thanks >Manolo Vincent
