Hi

These are contoled by the LaTeX styles. You may want to find a style that are 
better for you or you may override the style by using LaTeX as described 
below.

from: http://tug.org/TeXnik/mainFAQ.cgi?file=floats/caption

 Captions apart from Floats
 If you need your floats on own pages only with a caption like "Figure #" and 
additionally a list of corresponding captions, try the following (needs 
endfloat.sty):
 write in preamble: 
\usepackage{endfloat}
\let\Caption\caption
\renewcommand\caption[1]{%
    \Caption[#1]{}%
}
 and insert your listoffigures in your text as usual. With this trick you can 
not use the short caption option like 
\caption[short for toc]{long for caption}

and

 Left aligned Captions
 Write in preamble: 
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \vskip\abovecaptionskip
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]: #2}%
  \ifdim [EMAIL PROTECTED] >\hsize
    #1: #2\par
  \else
    \global [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \fi
  \vskip\belowcaptionskip}
\makeatother
