Is possible to use different caption formats in the same document?
I have run into some problems related to a multi-section document (my master
thesis). The problem has grown into a very complicated matter, probably because I'm not good enough. Assume that the document consists of two sections called REPORT and APPENDIX. 1) I need a TOC for each part, but they shall not be overlapping. The headings in REPORT are to be visible in TOC1 and APPENDIX in TOC2. 2) The numbering of headings in the two part should not be sequential. In REPORT, the normal konvention 1.1.1 is used. For APPENDIX I created a set of new headings with a different numbering; A1.1. The reason for this is that it will facilitate refering to paragraphs between the two sections. 3) The TOCs were now easy to create separately, by choosing what headings to include. So far everything seems to work out fine, but then another problem arose. The captions. 4) It apperas as if it is only possible to compile caption numbering by using the standard headings (and not those of my own creation). Furthermore, it seems impossible to use different caption styles/numbering in the different sections. In REPORT everything works as normal, and the figures get the correct caption: Figure {chapter}.number. However, in APPENDIX, the {chapter} can not be obtained. Preferably it should follow the same pattern, which would give the first picture the caption: Figure A1.1 5) One acceptable solution would be to use another format in APPENDIX. For instance to have the pictures numbered without reference to what chapter it is located in. When changes are made under insert-references-caption, it is automatically applied to all captions in the entire document, a manual strategy was tried. To delete the "0" in every caption in APPENDIX. Unfortunately, the fields automatically changes back when another caption is added. What should I have done differently? Is word capable of doing this, if so how? How should I proceed to obtain the desired results? How are problem like these normally solved? Are there other programs more suitable for handling large documents? The version I'm working in: Word 2003 professional SP2 (Swedish version) I'm looking forward to getting any help, suggestions and strategies that might be of use. Kindest regards, Claes Hagström |
