atw: Re: Caption placement

Hi Debbie,
Not sure about history, but I know that we have captions above tables specifically because our Index of Tables uses a table's caption for the page number listed (ie, the page the caption is on, is the page listed in the index). We have a few multipage tables, so this can be a problem.

Hi
The 'house' style of my current workplace dictates captions in documents are placed *above* a table and *below* a figure / graphic. I have come across this in a couple of other organisations I have worked for. Does anybody know the history and/or reasoning behind this? I cannot seem to find any references for caption placement in the Commonwealth Style Manual. As always, thanks in advance Austechies!! Cheers 
Debbie
