[texhax] Question about caption package and esp. \captionof

[Peter Flom]

Hello again

Sorry to keep asking questions.....I do try to solve these on my own
before posting.....

Using LiveTex and WinEdt on a Windows machine.

I am having trouble with placement of floats, because I have a lot of
graphics in a document.  Then, in the LaTeX companion (2nd ed) I read
that a) This isn't uncommon and b) There is a package {caption} that can
put captions on nonfloating figures.  Seemed worth a shot.

So, in my preamble I put

\usepackage{caption}[2004/15/16]

and in my \mainmatter

\begin{center}
\fbox{\includegraphics[scale = .6]{pie}}\\
\captionof{figure}{Pie chart of race-ethnicity}
\label{F:pierace}
\end{center}

When I run it, I get an error that there is an undefined control
sequence

I checked the .pdf file for this package, but did not find anything
about such an error.

Any help, as always, appreciated

Peter
