Content Blocks > File with Text > Captions



You have the option to include captions below the images in the File with Text, Gallery, and CUL File without Text content blocks.  The steps to add a caption are detailed below. These steps are the same for all three content blocks.

1. Select your image and click on the Edit link below.

2. Enter your text in the Provide a Caption box. To position the caption you can either use the alignment options - left, right, center - presented in the gray area at the top of the text box or you can make the selection from the Captions position drop-down shown in step 3. Note that if there are multiple images in the content block the Captions position option can save you time as it aligns all the captions in the same way.

3. You may opt to select your preferred alignment - Center, Left, or Right - from the Captions position drop-down in Layout Options. This option is most useful if you have multiple images and want all the captions aligned in the same way.
