If you toggle the field codes - ALT+F9, you will see
Figure { SEQ Figure \* ARABIC }
Locate the figure you wish to renumber and add an \r switch eg
Figure { SEQ Figure \r12 \* ARABIC }
The figure will update to 12 and subsquent entries when updated will follow.
You can use the macro at

simplify updating.

I am using word 2007 with captions for figures, tables, and a custom
caption.
I would like to be able to change the first number of the captions in
a document as I have split a large report over multiple word
documents.
Thanks in advance.
