I would like to insert a figure with the tag "Figure" in the caption

inside the float _before the caption:
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{}

Thanks, Herbert, but how can one eliminate the superfluous space
between "Figure" and ":"?

\makeatletter
\def\setSpecialCaption{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \vskip\abovecaptionskip
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \ifdim [EMAIL PROTECTED] >\hsize
    ##1##2\par
  \else
    \global [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \fi
  \vskip\belowcaptionskip%
  \addtocounter{figure}{-1}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\nobreakspace}}
\makeatother


and then only before the caption \setSpecialCaption
It also decreases the counter, the following figure gets
the right number.

maybe that some special classes or the caption package
offers some simpler commands for that.
