The caption(s) for this image is determined as follows

• Caption
  • Display Name: If there is text in the Display Name field, then it is used as the Caption
  • Filename (System Name): If Display Name is blank, then the filename, without the extension, (e.g., reunion1) is used as the label. (You can change the System Name, in the System option. **Be sure to unpublish the file before you change the name.)
• Description
