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:
<p><img src=”images/Santa_Clause.jpg” alt=”Santa on the roof” width=”225″ height=”218″ /></p>
