Is this caption numbering with heading numbers included (as indicated by the
x.y format)?

If you want to keep the chapter numbering, just remove the Heading 2
paragraph before "Table 3.1." Then switch to Print Preview and back to
update caption numbers.

If you want to get rid of chapter numbering, display the Caption dialog box:
Insert | Reference | Caption (Word 2003) or References tab | Insert Caption
(Word 2007). Click Numbering. Clear the check mark next to "Include chapter
number" and click OK, Close. Switch to print preview and back to update
caption numbers.

I am working on a document with many tables, figures and boxes. I am
manually adding captions to the existing tables/figures and boxes. For
some
reason, I can't continue numbering my table after "Table 2.12". It
restarts
with "Table 3.1" instead of going forward with "Table 2.13".

Please help.
