Dot instead of colon in caption environment

[Jure]

Hello!

I have a question about Caption environment.
I use Lyx with MikTeX, but I don't think this should be a problem.

Whenever I insert a figure float, the caption below/above the picture
says (for example for figure Nr. 15) "Figure 15: An electrical
switch", without the quotes of cuorse, where the Figure 15 with the
colon are inserted automatically. This is all well and by the book.

Now, how can I make it print a dot instead of the colon?
So the above text would be "Figure 15. An electrical switch".

Thanks in advance!

Jure

lookup the ccaption (2 c's) or the caption2 packages and read their docs

Please take the caption package 3.0 instead, caption2 is obsolete.

BTW: \usepackage[labelsep=period]{caption}[2003/12/20] will do the trick.
