Hi,
	Could somebody out there help me to solve the following problem ?

	I often have long table captions which make the captions multi-line.
As I understand, LaTeX can only center the first line in a caption not the
rest line of it. How can I make it all centered? Is there any way to break
a line manually, as in \author environment using \\?

Example:

LaTeX ---> Table 1. This is a very long table caption. LaTeX only center the
         first line of it. 

I want --> 	   Table 1. This is a very long table caption.
	 It can be broken manually. All lines are centered as \maketitle.

Thanks in advance.
