You really need to create a new style for your new headings. Body Text,
Bold, Size 14 is just formatting; save it as a named style so that you can
pick it up for the TOC if desired.
You may find that F4 (Repeat) is helpful in inserting new captions. Since I
don't use the caption feature myself, I'm not really familiar with the way
they work, but you can find some information about the component SEQ and
STYLEREF fields from their respective Help topics. Interestingly the \s
switch is not listed in the StyleRef Help topic, so I'm not sure what it
does.
Looking ahead, assuming that you will have a TOC, you might want to save
yourself some work by reading these articles:

ok suzanne, no panic here!
here's what i have done (and i think it is what you meant, since it worked
out alright seemingly):
i have changed the style formatting of List of Abbreviations & Summary of
Findings from Heading 1 to Body text, Bold, Size 14 and assigned outline
Level 1 then apply Bullets & Numbering etc. it worked! Chapter 1 is now
Chapter 1 and so on.
not only that, now even the figures and tables appeared correctly (the few
that i re-captioned to include chapter number) but it looks like i have to
manually re-captioned all the figures and tables, additionally i have to
re-crossreferenced all the in-text citations of the figures and tables.
there
is not much choice/difference between pasting { STYLEREF 1 \s } to every
single figures/tables and re-captioning (i don't think). i wish i have
thought/learnt about these issues earlier and may be i could have recorded
a
macro to automate the re-captioning but c'est la vie. at least now my
documents appeared as i think it should be.
for my own education, could you tell or provide me with a link to find out
what are the switches in the captions and their respective functions? i
tried
to google for these but could not find the answer.
thanks again suzanne, your advice/guidance has been very helpful and
useful.
regards,
jes
