- Yes. There are several ways to do this. The method I use is:
-
- 1. Create a new table format using Figure as the paragraph style for
- the table title. You have to be careful when you do this; the first
- time you put the table format into the catalog, its title *must*
- be in the Figure paragraph style (read the manual about this). If
- you don't, you'll have to manually change each title to Figure.
- The table should have no internal ruling, and should float.
-
- 2. Whenever you want a figure inserted, insert a 1-row, 1-column table
- with no header and no footer rows. Paste your graphic into the single
- cell. Add your caption to the table's title. The two will float
- together, and text will flow around them.
