[texhax] Question about Figures, Large Captions and Margins

[Paul Isambert]

Well, my previous answer won't work actually since fltpage redefines 
\caption on each occurrence of a figure.
So what you should do instead is:

\def\Caption#1{%
  \caption{\vbox
    \advance\leftskip-.5in
     \advance\rightskip-.5in
   #1}}%
 }

and use \Caption instead of \caption in your figures.
