You could either typeset the caption for yourself (without label and number the caption is usually just plain text) or use \caption* offered by the caption package.

Table without table number

Hi Mir,

if you want to suppress only the number but retaining the name ("Table"), then you could redefine the \thetable command, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[!ht]
\renewcommand\thetable{}
\centering
\rule{5cm}{3cm}% to simulate a table
\caption{a test table}
\label{tab:test}
\end{table}
\end{document}
