The chapter numbers will need to use outline numbering, but you can
certainly put "Chapter" (or any other text) before the number. In fact, the
last pane in the default List Gallery in Format | Bullets and Numbering |
Outline Numbered has this format already. In order to automatically include
"chapter numbers" in captions, you must use a built-in heading style with
auto numbering for the chapter number. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm.
Graham has suggested another approach, but I believe he may have
misunderstood your intentions.

Hi, I have just brought together all the chapters of my thesis today. I am
struggling with getting chapter numbers in the caption. i have used
heading 1
for my chapter headings, but these are not outline numbered, since I want
the
word 'chapter' to appear before the number. The drop down box at the
caption
- include chapter stage does not show this style.
Grrrr........
How have others done it?
