Also is there a way i can set this as a rule for all figures.
AFAIK, unfortunately, not.
As a hack, you can redefine the latex command that insets the graphics to
include a center.
From Herbert Voss' Tips & Tricks, (http://www.texnik.de) add the following to your preamble
\makeatletter \renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{% [EMAIL PROTECTED] \centering }{% [EMAIL PROTECTED] } \makeatother
