Those settings are found in the Format | Paragraph dialog and control the
amount of space between paragraphs (line spacing sets the spacing within the
paragraph).

TThanks for replying, Stefan.

I'm still having trouble.

I looked through the numbering document, and I think I have everything
correct. I then set the view to Outline, and showed the para.marks. In
order to make sure that there are no blank paragraphs where a heading
style
is applied but the numbering has been suppressed, I set the doc to "show
level 4", so that only the numbered text (chapters?)was visible. There
were
no extra para.marks. (I have never used the Outline view before.could be
very
useful!) I still can not get the captioning correct. Any other ideas?

What is the "Spacing After and Spacing Before"? (yes, I am a newbie)
BTW, I'm using Word 2003

Also, make sure that there are no blank paragraphs where a heading style
is
applied but the numbering has been suppressed, as this can cause issues
with
the caption numbering.

To show/hide the paragraph mark (¶) as well as other nonprinting marks,
press Ctrl+Shift+8.

If you find any blank paragraphs, apply the Normal style to them (you can
do
this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N). The best approach, however, is to delete
them and use Spacing After or Spacing Before with text paragraphs
instead.

I am having trouble using captions to create a Table of Figures. I'm
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 caption.to 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??? It's driving me
crazy!
Example below:


1.0 "Option A"
1.1 "Step 1"


2.0 "Option B"
2.1 "Step 2"
Table 2-1 Well Locations-North
Table 2-2 Well Locations-South

3.0 "Option C"
3.1 "Step 3"
Table 3-1 Well Locations-North
Table 3-2 Well Locations-South

4.0 "Option D"
4.1 "Step 4"

Table 4-1 BlahBlah-A
Table 4-2 BlahBlah-B
