Default ISO690-Numerical: Citations in captions and text


"Lx" wrote in message
...
I've been using the numerical citation style however my numbers are not
appearing consecutively, even after reselecting the style.
The problem is when I cite a source in an image caption without using it
main text. The number ordering follows through the main text, then starts
the
document again numbering through the captions following on from the last
number used in the main text.
Is it possible for Word to recognise citations without missing out the
citations initially?


I tried what you described and it renumbered them correctly.

The only reason I can think of why the ordering would be incorrect is if you
added the (image and the) image caption in some kind of container which is
not connected to your main text. An example could be a textbox in which you
pasted the image and its caption. In that case, the numbering will not be
correct as first all citations in the main text will be handled after which
the one(s) in the textbox will be numbered. There is nothing you can do
about that.
