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.
