Changing the Figure Caption location

[Ridder, Fred]

Is it possible that the figure title has been put in a footing row?
Do you have the View>Borders option turned on? If so, do you
see a dotted box surrounding the figure title? That dotted border
would indicate that the paragraph is inside some *some* sort of 
table cell. And if that's the case, you'll need to select just the
contents rather than the whole cell (or row) when you attempt
to move the title. Then once you have the title where you want 
it (and if you have used a named style for the figure tables, my 
personal suggestion would be to use the Table Title frame since
you globally relocate all the titles from below the figures to above 
them just before you do your HTML conversion), you can delete 
the empty table row you left behind. 

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Tried the first one. There is No Title.
Checked the third one, None.
As far as the second one, I can't move it. I get a message saying
"Cannot remove all body rows from a table that has heading or footing
rows." I don't see any selections for heading/footing rows in the Table
designer except for the ruling/shading selections.

Thanks,

OK, three thoughts:

If you're using what would be the Table Title as your figure title,
the above/below
setting is a property on the Table Designer dialog box, Basic tab.
Ctrl-t, then
Title Position.

If that's set to No Title, though, you're using an unrelated tag to
handle the title.
You should be able to just select it and move it...

If you can't select and move the tag, I'd suspect that whatever
paragraph tag you're
using to anchor the figure table is referencing a frame on a reference
page... In that
para designe window, is there a setting on the Advanced tab for frame
above or below?
