>Kevin Sporleder is wondering if it is most common to number all graphics or
to number just the important ones.
At M3i, we add a caption to all figures and tables with the following
exception. For every window, we give each element/control description. If
one control calls a message box that is important enough for us to include
it in the description, we won't add a caption for that particular figure. We
feel it would be too cumbersome to the reader.
