[Framers] Captions

[Ant Davey]

   Hi Doug,

   My more academically inclined colleagues tell me (in Britain at least)
   table titles go above and figure titles go below.  However, I've always
   put both above.  For the reason that you state, about cross references
   going to the top of the page.  The same happens in PDFs if you have
   bookmarked the titles.  So, seeing the table or figure - or at least
   part of it - with the title has always seemed preferable.

   Is there an industry standard or best practice to follow when deciding

   where to place the caption for an image, table, or equation? The
   obvious

   choices are either above the object or below it.

   Also, if you place your captions below, how do you deal with making

   cross-references to the caption? In my experience the caption displays
   at

   the top of the screen after the link jump. which puts the object out of

   sight above the top of the screen in this case.

   It almost seems as if FrameMaker expects users to put captions above
   the

   object.
