I have several figures/tables in a LaTeX file and I tried to (1) make the
width of the caption smaller than text width (say 6in); and (2) make the
caption font smaller.
Since I don't know any better solution, I wrote
\begin{figure*}
... ...
\parbox{6in}{\small\caption{This is my caption}}
...
\end{figure*}
LaTeX told me that it went to an infinite loop so it failed.
My questions -- (1) is this a bug or what? (2) forget aobut \parbox etc.
can I make what I want somehow else?
Please reply to my account. Thanks a lot!!
