2. Select the INSERT menu and CAPTION from the REFERENCE menu item. The following dialogue box will result:

3. From here, you can select the type of caption and whether it is inserted above or below the picture. You can also set or re-set the automatic numbering or even apply an automatic caption. Automatic captions are inserted whenever you insert a particular type of object.
