Are you using Headings 1--8 before applying a Heading 9? If not, that
could explain the problems you are seeing. The reason is that Word
requires that you apply headings so that the hierarchy is preserved.
In other words, if you apply Heading 9, Headings 1--8 is assumed to
present. This, obviously, affects the heading numbering, but it also
(indirectly) affects Word captions, inserted via the Caption dialog
box.
If you are trying to create a separate set of captions for an
appendix, see

Hi can someone help me with this problem,
I am using Word 2000, and trying to insert figure and table captions
with
chapter numbers.
In each document I am using a single chapter number assigned to
Heading 9. I
can get the chapter number to insert correctly for each caption, but
the
sequencing is not working.
Every time I have a next page section break, the sequencing resets
to 1. ie
I have caption 2.1, 2.2, section break next page, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and
so on.
