The captcont package provides the ability to continue the numbering in your float environment (figure, table, etc.) with minimal overhead. This package adds three commands: \caption*, \captcont, and \captcont*. Along with the \caption command, these give full control over the caption numbering, caption text and the entries in the list-of pages.

The \caption and \captcont commands generate list-of page entries. The \caption and \caption* commands increment the figure or table counter.

Captcont also fully supports the subfigure package. The author is Steven Douglas Cochran.
