Anthony:
I'm not sure exactly how you tried to add the caption to your picture, but I
have no trouble doing what it is that I think you're trying to do. Here are the
stops that I take:
1. I'm in the page with two columns. I select Insert > Picture > From file,
and find the picture I want to insert.
2. When it is inserted, I right click on it and select Wrap > Page Wrap.
3. I re-size it and position it like I want it.
4. I right click again, and select Caption. I type in the caption that I want
and click OK.
Let me know if the above steps work for you.

Subject: [users] I am using version 2.1 of openoffice.org and cannot see how
to make headings and captions extend over the full page of a two-column page
Help!
I am writing a book and the page is set in two columns separated by a gap of
0,5
cm. While I can get pictures, inserted from file, to spread across the two
columns I cannot do so with either captions to the illustrations or main
headings.
The only way I have suceeded is to type the wording separately, photocopy and
then transfer via JASC Paint Shop Photo Album. This is cumbersome and the type
appears heavier.
If I try to do this by scanning and transferring to JASC, I cannot get the
image
out again!
Grateful for your suggestions
Regards
Anthony Holmes-Walker
