Changing Chapters in Figure Numbering
This should be simple but I am coming up blank. I am working on a report and
would like the Figure Captions to change with the Chapter. So you could have Figure 1-1 in Section 1.1; Figure 1.2.1-1 in Section 1.2.1 etc... I understand how to tie the Caption to a Style but if you switch the style, it switches the numbering in the entire document. So when I try to tie the Style to Heading 3 for Figure 1.2.1-1, it changes the the Figures in Section 1.1 also. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance. Cathie |

Changing Chapters in Figure Numbering
I would advise against this. It may seem logical to you, but it won't to the
reader. Instead, use consistent caption numbering throughout each major section division; that is, stick with 1-1 (or 1.1). -- Suzanne S.

Changing Chapters in Figure Numbering
Suzanne, Thanks for your reply. It's not really up to me - it is an
"industry standard". There are many things that I'd do differently if it was left up to me. Is there a way to do it? In the past I've always done it manually. Thanks... Cathie "Suzanne S.

I'm afraid manually is going to be the only way unless you can use a
slightly different caption label for one set (you can't have two for "Figure"). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "CJL" wrote in message ...
