Default Yikes - Section Breaks and Table Numbering

Hi all,

I am running into an issue with section breaks and table numbering in a
document (Word 2007).

I have a report that includes pages in both portrait and landscape
orientation, as well as numbered section headings. Wherever I've needed to
change the order of my pages, I've inserted section breaks.

I have a numbered chapter ("Heading1") on a "portrait" page that is followed
by a table on a "landscape" page. I need to insert a caption for the table
on the "landscape page", and the caption needs to include the Heading1
chapter number. The numbering shows up fine in the "Insert Caption" window
(i.e., Table 3-1), but displays as Table 0-1 in the document. I think that
I've severed ties to the chapter number by inserting a section break. In a
nutshell: I'm not sure how to change page orientation without severing ties
to my numbered headings.

Does anyone know how to do this? Help would be much appreciated - I've been
fighting with this for a while (and surfing for answers for even longer!).

Thanks!

Default Yikes - Section Breaks and Table Numbering

If the document contains blank paragraphs (which often happens if you add
section or page breaks), make sure those paragraphs don't have the Heading 1
style applied (with numbering suppressed). Instead, apply a non-numbered
style such as Normal.
