So I have my table

\begin{table}
\center
\begin{tabular}{| l | l | l | l |}\hline
table stuff
\end{tabular}
\caption{Lots of words about table}
\end{table}

I want it so that the caption fits to the table, kind of the same as changing the indents in Word. Is there a way to do this?

Additionally, I have something similar to:

\newpage
\subsection{NAme}
TABLE STUFF INCLUDED ABOVE
\subsubsection{Name}

And the table appears at the top of the page, not in between the title of the subsection and the sub subsection. Can I change this?

On the first question, see How to align table or figure caption where the table starts? and Table caption Width. On the second question see Keeping tables/figures close to where they are mentioned. I think your question is a duplicate of these. – Alan Munn Dec 11 '13 at 03:16
I don't understand the question at all; what do you mean by "so that the caption fits to the table"? (I have no idea how things are working in M$ Word.) Also, please provide a MWE. – Svend Tveskæg Dec 11 '13 at 03:19
