The point of using the Caption feature without numbering is to be able to
create a Table of Figures that autmatically produces page numbers and links
referencing each Figure. Such Figures would be titled only. Many books have
titled, unnumbered Figures and tables of illustrations.

If you don't want to number the captions, then's there not much point in
using the Caption feature.

Word automatically appends a number when I create a caption using my
user-entered New Label. There seems to be no way to tell it not to do
this.
