[Tex/LaTex] How to suppress caption numbering in a figwindow

captions

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{picinpar}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\begin{figwindow}[1,l,{\mbox{%
\includegraphics[width=80pt]{g/tiger.png}}},{\label{fig:leadfield}\TeX{} Tiger}]

In this lab, you will record the standard limb leads in sequence,according to the diagram below:
The goal for the Frank electrode system is to capture the three-dimensional extent of the heart dipole.  For this, it is necessary to measure potential differences not just in the frontal plane, as in the limb leads, but along the antero-posterior (front-to-back) axis of the body.  The diagram below illustrates the original Frank lead system \cite{RSM:Fra56} and we will use a simplified version of this.
\end{figwindow}

You can define your own figwindownonum environment that doesn't set the caption using the figure type. Instead, it just prints whatever you pass it:

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{picinpar}% http://ctan.org/pkg/picinpar
\usepackage{graphicx}% http://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx
\makeatletter
\long\def\figwindownonum[#1,#2,#3,#4] {% \begin{figwindownonum}
  \begin{window}[#1,#2,{#3},{\centering#4\par}] }
\def\endfigwindownonum{\end{window}}% \end{figwindownonum}
\makeatother
\begin{document}

\begin{figwindownonum}[1,l,{\mbox{%
\includegraphics[width=80pt]{tiger}}},{\TeX{} Tiger}]

You could also consider using the wrapfig package. Here's a small example that somewhat duplicates your usage:

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{wrapfig}% http://ctan.org/pkg/wrapfig
\usepackage{graphicx}% http://ctan.org/pkg/wrapfig
\begin{document}

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{85pt}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=80pt]{tiger} \par
  \TeX{} Tiger
\end{wrapfigure}

[Tex/LaTex] How to suppress caption numbering in a table

You can suppress the caption label in saveral ways using features provided by the caption package:

Using \caption* instead of \caption:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[h]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{c} 
    text1\\
    text2
  \end{tabular}
  \caption*{This is my caption.}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Using the option labelformat=empty for \captionsetup.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}

\captionsetup[table]{labelformat=empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[h]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{c} 
    text1\\
    text2
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{This is my caption.}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Since I used table as optional argument for \captionsetup, this change will only affect the table environments; of course, you can use figure instead (to affect only the figure environment), or no optional argument at all, which means that the change will affect all your floating objects.

Also, as I used \captionsetup in the preamble, the change will affect all the (in this case) table environments in your document; if you want the change to affect only a particular table environment, you can use

\captionsetup{labelformat=empty}

inside that particular table environment.

The result after compilation of any of my example codes is

[Tex/LaTex] Caption package: bold numbering indents caption text – how to avoid that

The package caption provides different styles via option. To set one of the predefined styles use format=.

Here an example

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[bf]{caption} 
\def\exampletext{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut purus elit,
vestibulum ut, placerat ac, adipiscing vitae, felis. Curabitur dictum gravida
mauris. Nam arcu libero, nonummy eget, consectetuer id, vulputate a,
magna.
}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\rule{7cm}{1cm}
\caption{\exampletext}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\captionsetup{format=plain}
\centering
\rule{7cm}{1cm}
\caption{\exampletext}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\captionsetup{format=hang}
\centering
\rule{7cm}{1cm}
\caption{\exampletext}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
