I am trying to use \vfill within the LaTeX table environment
without much success. What I want to be able to do is to move
the caption down to the bottom of the page using the rubber
length \vfill. LaTeX seems to ignore the \vfill command. Am I
missing something ? Is there another way of doing the same thing ?
My LaTeX file looks something like this :
\documentstyle[12pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[p]
\centerline{This is where the actual table will go}
\vfill
\caption[Test table]{This is the caption for the test table. It will contain
a description of the salient features of the table}
\end{table}
\end{document}
The \vfill command doesn't do anything. The caption stays 10pt below
the table (or in this case the \centerline stuff). REP12.STY defines
a vskip of 10pt in its definition of @makecaption and I couldn't
figure out how to change it to a rubber length. I also tried putting
\caption in a \parbox but that did the same thing.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
