change font size of caption for longtable

[z***@hotmail.com]

Hello,

I have a problem with changing the font size of a longtable. Here is a
short description:

\setlongtables

{\tiny

\begin{longtable}{rrrcrcrrrrcrrrrcrrrr}
\caption{
what is the title
\hline\hline
\multicolumn{3}{c}{\bfseries }&
\multicolumn{1}{c}{\bfseries }&\\
...

I have have something "Table 1: what is the title".
It works but the font size of caption "Table 1: what is the title" is
the same as the table contents. How should I change the caption font? I
tried the following:

\setlongtables

{\tiny

\begin{longtable}{rrrcrcrrrrcrrrrcrrrr}
\caption{\scriptsize
what is the title

But the font size of "Table 1" is still "tiny" while "what is the
title" is now changed to "scriptsize', which is not consistent.

How should I do? Thanks. Zhu

i had a similar problem in my thesis. this is what i did (i'm not sure
if it's the best solution, or if both are needed, but it seemed to work
for me):

\usepackage[format=plain,font=normalsize,labelfont=bf]{caption}

{\footnotesize
\begin{longtable}{llcccrc}
\caption{\normalsize Summary of site data for Queensland.}

Thanks and it helps except I found I have to change format=plain to
something else, say "format=normal". Did not know there was a package
call "caption" before.
