The caption feature of Word only allows you to include the numbering of a
*specific* heading level (for each caption). For the kind of numbering that
you want, you will have to avoid the Caption dialog box and, instead,
manually insert the required STYLEREF fields (which are used to reference
the "current" heading number of the chosen level), or make use of
cross-references. If are working with a long document, it will be a very
time-consuming task.

In need of your assistance - Please! I am setting up a preformatted form
for
our engineers with a list of abbreviated styles available to the document.
I have defined Headings 1-9 from the default styles. The formatting for
the
styles are exampled below:
1.1 tab Heading 1
Figure 1.1-1 text
1.1.1 tab Heading 2
Figure 1.1.1-1 text
1.1.1.1 tab Heading 3 etc.....
The engineers want the figure and table captions to reflect each of the 9
defined heading styles (see above)
Heading 1 appears correctly, however a figure inserted under Heading 2
does
not appear as 1.1.1-1 but 1.1-2. If I go into the window to correct 2, 1
is
affected.
Is there a workaround to get the figure and table to display according to
each of the different heading styles?
