There is one problem though.  If the Column cell is evaluated the figure size comes out pretty small and I have to resize every time.

Am I doing something wrong?

Of course the cell cannot be evaluated, so I have turn off that option. If there is a way to add the caption, I wonder whether the whole cell - picture + caption - could be  centered justified.
