Captions

Use captions only where necessary. If the figures are placed near the text describing them, the figures are usually self-explanatory and captions are unnecessary.

Avoid using numbered captions unless absolutely required. The numbering requires maintenance and usually contributes little to the value of the figure.

After the drawing with caption style, format the caption in the Caption style. For the ScreenCap with caption style, format the caption in the Caption ScreenCap style.
