Can I Put Captions Under my Photos?

While you're waiting for an answer from an Acutiva pro, this might be useful. There is a free photo editing service you can use, Irfanview. It allow you to add text to a picture itself.

I realize you want to add text below (not on the picture) but I thought I'd still mention it.

Hi mpos -

Without knowing any HTML, you have a couple of options with captions:

1. Do what SandysBTQ suggested adn add your captions prior to uploading your pictures to Auctiva.

2. Add your pictures to the Description section of your listing in a table format. This will hopefully save you from having to learn HTML in order to do this.

Here's how this option works:

1. While on the Design Editor of the Item Description section of the one page lister, you will see a button that looks like a grid (if you hover over it, it will say Insert/Edit Table.) Once you click that, enter your table properties - how many rows, columns, etc... .
2. The table will pop up and each empty box is called a cell. Click inside the first cell and you will see your cursor flashing there.
3. Next take your mouse over to the small yellow button next to UserLinks (it will say FreetivaImage.) Click on that and you will see your uploaded images.
4. Pick one and it will appear in the cell your cursor was in. You can then pick the cell below the picture to add your caption to. Do this a few times and you have your pictures with captions.

It looks like a lot of work when you write how to do it, but once you do it one time you will be able to play around with it and get the results you want.

Happy Listing
Cara!

Thanks! Of course, after posting, I found a similar question to mine and someone suggested putting my pictures in description... That has been working for me, but I did not yet try the table option... that may solve my problem of constantly resizing my picts. I'll try that!
