[Mac OS X TeX] Figures and pdftex (repost with correct subject)

A simple question (I think). When I was using OzTeX, when I wanted to
include a figure caption I just used the figure environment and defined
the caption with \cation{here is a caption}. This worked well. The font
size and margin were reduced clearly distinguishing the caption from the
text body. Now with TeXShop and pdftex, I find that the same
combination results in a larger font than in the body of the text. The
caption also spans from one side of the paper to the other ignoring
margin settings. What is the "correct" way to go about introducing a
figure, e.g. before I typed something like
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{myfigure.eps}
\caption{this is the caption}
\label{fig:myfigure}
\end{Figure}
I am now using a pdf file instead of an eps file, but other than that
the format I am using is the same resulting in the unacceptable
caption. Does anyone out there have an suggestions? Thanks.
