i have looked already, but havent found. the only command, which seems to be related is \DeclareLabelCaptionFormat, however i doubt the string "Figure" is or should be hardcoded somewhere inside the caption package, as the \caption command is to be used for figures and tables together, so the information of environment and its string should come from outside. pavel
