Word 2007 - caption - weird number behaviour
When captioning my tables in a Word 2007 doc, in section 9 the numbers
go to 9-6. The next table should be 9-7 and is displayed correctly in the cation window. When applied to the document though, it changes to Table 0-1. I cannot see any section breaks or anything else that would cause it to misbehave like this. Any ideas? PS. section numbering still functions perfectly. |

How large is the document?
Press Alt+F9 to see what field codes are being used for the errant numbering. The usual method is to use a STYLEREF field to the number associated with the most recent occurrence of Heading 1. Does the most recent occurrence of Heading 1 have a number associated with it? Is this document in .docx format or .doc format? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "astrauss" wrote in message oups.com...

PS. section numbering still functions perfectly. The file size is approx 1 MB The field codes being used are "Styleref 1 \s - SEQ Table \* Arabic \s 1" The same one are used for the correct and the incorrect numbering. Does the most recent occurrence of Heading 1 have a number associated with it? Yes. I can't see any problems with the heading numbers. We are sticking with .doc for now. |

I highlighted my heading which was using the "Heading 1" style. Right- click. Select StyleSelect text with similar formatting I then scrolled down my doc and found a blank line highlighted, meaning it was using the "Heading 1" style. Delete the line, and hey, presto, table numbering is back to normal. I hope someone can benefit from my experience. |
