I keep having the feeling that there must be some way to do this. After all,
in outline numbering, you can select "Legal style numbering" to have roman
numerals at Level 1 represented with arabic numerals at Level 2. You'd think
there would be some kind of switch for this, but there doesn't seem to be.

In Word, captions with chapter numbering depend on STYLEREF fields being
inserted in the text. Each STYLEREF field repeats the "current" heading
number, the way it is shown in the referenced heading. In other words, you
can't do anything to change the number format, if you want to use the
built-in caption feature.

I am using "Heading1" style for the chapters in my Thesis. the "Heading1"
style has been modified to be numbered with "I, II , III...etc".
Now, in the figures in each of the chapters, I can attach the chapter
number
to the figure label easily. However, I do not want the figure to be
Labeled
"Figure I.1" and "Figure II.1". I want it to be "Figure 1.1" and "Figure
2.1".
This means that I want the chapters numbers to be displayed in the
chapter
titles as it is "I , II ,III..etc", but, it should be used in the figure
captions as "1, 2,3..etc".
I tried alot to solve this issue, but, I could not.
Any help is highly appreciated.
