How to add a caption to an image

Someone once asked me how to add a caption to an image. They were using an image in their article they had taken from another website and wanted to give credit for the image. It seems like a silly question, because you would think that there would be a caption field right within the image tag, but there isn’t.

But don’t worry, you will just treat the image caption like any regular text. Here’s what you will do:

Once you have inserted your image, make sure you are in Design View and that your cursor is immediately after the image. Now insert a line break by typing Shift + Enter. This will place your cursor immediately beneath the image. Then just type in the text you want to use. Something like “Photo by Bob Jones” or “Photo courtesy of Mary Jones” will work just fine. You might also want to link to the website where you found the photo. And that’s it!

The image would look something like this in Code view:

When you click on the file you would like to download, a File Download page will appear asking, “Do you want to open or save this file?” Note: If your PC doesn’t recognize .zip files, then download a zip program like WinZip, 7Zip, or another zip program (most programs are free). Once you are able, choose Save and you can save it to your C:\Temp folder or wherever you want. All you are saving at this point is basically a compressed file that you need to decompress/unzip later, so it doesn’t matter where you put it. When the download is complete, in the File Download screen choose the Open button, or if you selected the Open file button, double click on the new file (should look like a stack of books) and your zip program should open up automatically. If it doesn’t, that probably indicates a problem with your zip program.

I use a program called WinRAR and the following instructions are based on that program, but zip programs are all basically the same, so it should not be difficult to follow the instructions if you have another program. In WinRAR, select the folder named “..” and click the Extract to icon at the top of the screen. That will open a new Extraction path and options screen. Make sure you are on the General tab and in the box underneath Destination path, create a new folder named C:\php5 and click OK.
