2 caption text boxes next to each other...numbering is inaccurate
Word 2000
Windows XP I have a Word document with a number of pictures pasted into it. Some pictures are small enough to have side-by-side in the document. Their layout is square. All pictures have an associated caption with autonumbering. The caption is a text box. There is not a list of figures in the document. The numbering of the pictures works throughout the document, however those pictures that are pasted side-by-side the numbering is backwards. For example, the left caption, relative to the page, is numbered Figure 8 and the right caption is numbered Figure 7. I have tried to delete the caption and reinsert it. I have used the mouse to move the captions. None have worked. This only takes place when the pictures are side-by-side and not when they are placed on top of each other. |

2 caption text boxes next to each other...numbering is inaccurate
Caption numbering depends on SEQ fields in Word, and SEQ fields in text
boxes are numbered based on the relative position of the text box anchors. For the two problem text boxes, you will have to drag the anchors so that the "first" (lower number) text box is anchored to a paragraph earlier in the text. To see text box anchors, turn on nonprinting marks, for example by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8. You will see the anchor for a text box (or any object) when you select it. For more on object anchors, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/anchors.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kristian" wrote in message ...
