Yes, but I think I have bad news. If your paragraph number includes previous
levels, you will get them regardless. The "Field codes: StyleRef field" Help
topic explains the relevant switches this way:

\n Causes the field to display the entire paragraph number for a referenced
paragraph without trailing periods. No information about prior levels is
displayed unless it is included as part of the current level.

\r Inserts the entire paragraph number of the bookmarked paragraph in
relative context€” or relative to the paragraph numbering scheme€” without
trailing periods.

\w Inserts the paragraph number of the bookmarked paragraph in full context,
from anywhere in the document.
For example, when referencing paragraph "ii.," a STYLEREF field with the \w
switch would return "1.a.ii" as a result.

Thanks! I played with pretty much all of the switches and could not get
only
the sub-part. Is the 'context' setting part of the StyleRef field?

I'd suggest experimenting with the "context" setting to see what the
various
switches do.

Hi,

Do you know if it is possible, when retrieving the header number using
the
StyleRef field, to extract only a specific sub-level. Like if you
have
'7.1', is there a way to extract only the '1'?

Thanks!

For starters, you might want to look at Word's Help topic "Field
codes:
StyleRef field." Then use Insert | Field to insert a StyleRef field
referring to your heading style, checking the box for "Insert
paragraph
number" or "Insert paragraph number in full context."

Could you please tell me how to do this? Thanks so much for your
reply!

I don't believe there is any way to do what you want through the
Caption
dialog, but you can insert StyleRef fields in your captions to
pick
up
the
numbering of the specific desired heading.

How do I use different chapter headings for caption numbers?
For
instance,
figures in section 1.2 should be numbered Figure 1.2-1, Figure
1.2-2,
etc.,
while figures in section 1.2.1 should be numbered Figure
1.2.1-1,
Figure
1.2.1-2, etc. If I set a chapter heading style for one
figure,
all
figures
in the document are changed to that chapter heading style.
What
should I
be
doing differently?
