[Distressed]

Hi whoever can help...
I have tried two things, and Word seems to change my formatting on them both
at its whim:

1) I made my Theorems and Definitions into captions, so I could get the
correct sequential numbering.
Actually I INSERTED the caption onto a normal line of text...
It turned the whole line into "Caption" style which I don't seem to be able
to format in its own right (it turns it into "Caption +11 pt" or similar).
when I try to apply the Normal Format, it wipes out all other formatting
within the selected text - such as italic and sub-script and super-script.
This is a REAL PAIN for some lines - there are 15 individually italicised
letters or so!

2) I then tried, following a suggestion, to do my captions as AutoText
entries. Which seemed ok, but now, it is not numbering sequentially - it
just numbers them all the same, unless the lines are already of the type
'Caption'. Also, I don't know how I can use AutoText for different labels
and still keep sequential numbering:
Definition 7.1
Theorem 7.2
Defn 7.3
Defn 7.4
Thm 7.5

etc.

Help please???

Thanks!



The trouble is,
Any way round this?

Thanks
