Thankyou very much Paul That command worked, but interestingly it doesn't work for standard figure float where caption 'Figure 0.X:' by default is below the image.
I've used from the manual: \renewcommand{\fnum@figure}{ ~\thefigure} for standard figure floats to achieve the same result as your suggestion: addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{}} What remains is the rather ugly numeration format: For example : 0.3: My beautiful painting, 2012 Is there any way to remove '0.3:' to just '3. ' Best Regards Shane \usepackage{babel} \addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{}} \usepackage[rightcaption]{sidecap} % provides commands to set caption % beside tables/images %I @renewommand below I deleted a word inputted before the ~ and left spaces before the ~.
