Using Word numbering for figure numbers?
I am getting a handle on Word's numbering, but I have a question I'm
sure someone has encountered before. My searches didn't find anything addressing this question, so I thought I would post it here. I have set up outline numbering throughout a document Levels 1-6 are headings (some of which are automatically prefixing the chapter name with "Chapter 1", etc., some which are not), and levels 7-9 are outline numbered so that the outline numbering resets in each subsection of the document. This works like a dream. The problem comes that I'm now trying to integrate figure numbers into the mix. The previous custodian of this document set them up with "Figure" as text, then used fields to create ChapterNumber - FigureNumber. After all I learned about numbering while setting up my headings, this solution seems inelegant. I had thought I would use Word's automatic numbering, but then I realized that I had used up all of the heading levels already while setting up previous styles. Is there any other way for me to approach this that would allow me to automatically prefix each figure caption with "Figure ChapterNumber-FigureNumber"? |

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but are you saying
that Insert | Reference | Caption: Figure | Numbering: Include chapter number doesn't do what you need? -- Suzanne S.
