Default Problem with inserting caption Word 2007

The purpose of the Caption dialog box is to create *numbered* captions.


Which is another example of MS hijacking the accepted meaning of a word!
The definition EVERYONE ELSE uses is a "title" for a picture - a
"numbered" caption should be an OPTION, but NOT automatic and
non-removable. How many people waste time (I've wasted an hour or so this
morning myself) trying to do something that MS defines in an MS way and
not what everyone else defines it as? I repeat, arrogance in an enormous
way.


Well, English is not my native language, so I really cannot comment on
this.

However, note that the people posting messages here do not work for
Microsoft.


interestingly, Open office has the same set up, with one MAJOR difference -
in the options for numbering, under Number format, there is an option for
NONE! How easy is that?
