You have had your answer elsewhere on this list. But, seriously, why
isn't there a figure object that is similar to a one-celled table, which
is a pain to set up.

Hi Deirdre
Welcome back from class! I don't know the why (other than anchored Frames
don't have that function). And the only way a table automatically creates a
caption is if the Add Title option is turned on for a table.
So, my workaround?
I create a table format specifically to hold graphics.
Hello Deirdre
The presence of a table caption is determined by the table format as shown in
the Table Designer. You can set it to No title if you wish.
Figure captions are just paragraphs that you may or may not want to insert.
If you are using structured FrameMaker, you can have a figure
Deirdre Reagan asked:
Does anyone know why FM automatically makes Table captions but not
Figure captions?
Tables are well-defined encapsulated objects, and one of the properties
that is defined is an optional Title object. If you define a table format
to include a Title object, every table
One problem to be aware of when using single-cell tables with titles
for graphics: If you specify paragraphs in the table-title area for
generated TOCs, they will not be in the expected order because FM
collects them from the page after it collects standard paragraphs.

For figures, you can have a paragraph (style such as Figure style) with
the next paragraph style defined as a Figure Caption style.

The issue I see is does the resulting structure still validate?
If you have control over the DTD/Schema, you can resolve that problem by
modifying the structural definition; if not you will have to do some
very fancy translation on export (or import), or leave figures as
non-table objects.

I place my captions/titles above the image or table so that when the
users click a link (to the caption) in the online help or PDFs, the
image or table is still on the screen or page. If you link to captions
that are below images, users have to scroll up to see the
I'd amend this caution with the items in the TOC MAY not be in the
expected order: if there are multiple items being extracted from the
same page, FM will grab everything applicable from the standard flow
first then anything in the tables next.
