Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9821
treatment of captions needs improvement
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:41 UTC
This is a general comment targetted at the global treatment of captions---I will submit some specific issues also. The overall treatment of captions is inconsistent and lacking some features. For example, graphics and OLEs get captions created as frames, whereas tables just get some added text. In many cases, captions dont get bound to their target---or get unbound when manipulating. There should be a formatting menu when creating a caption--eg to center it. Also, it might be better to have a caption feature tied to each object creation/format menu. Captions applied to frames dont do a logical thing.

Set to "NEW"
I have experienced these problems too. In the attached document you will find that: 1. Captions created in frames (right click -> caption) behave correctly. 2. Captions created inline don't. But they are needed, for example to label equations.
Created attachment 5868 [details] Caption issues
Just to add to me earlier comment, I created the captions as numebr range fields. "Taming writer" suggests that the defined behavior of inline captions is as I have described. But there should be a way to create inline captions. For example: y = 2x + 3 (Equation 1)
