Hans,

I had a feeling that this might have been the case. I had already tried it
but it wasn't working for me. But I found what I was doing wrong. At the
moment I'm setting the color of all the text in the document to white by
starting the document with \startcolor[white]. If I include the figure (with
the caption set to white) between that \startcolor and the \stopcolor then
the caption comes out black. If I set the caption color to blue, it comes
out blue. I think there is a problem with the interaction between the
initial \startcolor and the captioning. Anyway, I fixed it by putting a
\stopcolor before the figure, then a \startcolor[white] after the figure and
all is well. Perhaps I should be using another method to set all the text in
the document to color=white?

btw. I'm doing this for a presentation that I'm giving on Monday at a
conference. I've hacked about one of the presentation styles to give me what
I want. Many thanks for releasing me from PowerPoint!

Tony.
