Figure titles in structured FrameMaker

[Yves Barbion]

Hello Steve,

you could also encapsulate the graphic in a dedicated table, for example 
a <graphic> table which consists of 2 rows (and which has no ruling): a 
heading row for the graphic itself and a body row for the figure title. 
This will give you more control over the "relative positions", but also 
over things like alignment, space above and below, and even ruling 
around the graphic or not. Or you could just two body rows and no 
heading row and use the Table Designer to prevent that the title gets 
separated from the graphic. And I don't know whether translations are an 
issue, but unlike frames, table rows automatically expand as the text 
expands.

I cannot see that it is possible, however, to specify this in an EDD. Is there any way of doing this, perhaps by somehow automatically inserting a named reference page object, or would it be better to pull the figure title out of the anchored frame, make it a separate element, and deal with the potential for separation of the figure and its title in some other way?
