Default Table of Figures - caption numbering problems

I am having trouble using captions to create a Table of Figures. Im trying
to use the option of labeling the captions with the heading numbers, then
have the Table of Figures create itself, like the Table of Contents. (I have
been given the task of formatting a document that was created by compiling
the work of many people everyone has a Table 1 and Figure 1 in their
section, and I need to pull it together)

I have gone through the document and used the headings styles for the
chapters and formatted the bullets for each outline level. I then insert the
caption, selecting the include chapter heading option.

The first table is in Third chapter, but it shows up in the caption box as
Table 1-1. I get an error message of message There is no chapter number to
include in the captionto apply chapter numbers use the Bullets and Numbering
on the format menu to select a multilevel list style that is linked to the
Heading styles. (I thought that was taken care of when I used the heading
styles for the chapters and the outline form for the bullets and numbers.).
I hit OK anyway. The caption appears in the document as Table 0-1. I type
over the 0 to make it a 3. I go to the next table, and have the same problem,
and in addition, that first table caption I just fixed changes from Table
3-1 to Table 3-0-1. Can anyone help with this??? Its driving me crazy!
Example below:
