Yes, Word always looks for a specific style--a built-in heading style--with
the chapter/page numbering option for captions.

Thanks, I think I got it. I was confused when you said "style it's
looking
for" because I have only one style for captions. But I then had to select
the specific paragraph style that contained the number sequence. Works
fine
now.

Press Alt+F9 to view the field code for the caption. It will include a
StyleRef field that specifies the style it's looking for. If that's not
the
style you're using for your chapter numbering, then you need to go to the
Caption Numbering dialog and choose another style. You can edit the
captions
manually by typing in the style name.

Suzanne,
Thanks for the reply! So, how to solve the problem? I was previously
just
adding captions by right-clicking on the chart. Now suddenly it does
not
work. I'm not sure how to fix the situation, given what you told me.

What Stefan meant is that Word cannot find any paragraphs in the style
you
have selected for "Chapter starts with style" in the Caption Numbering
dialog (after checking the box for "Include chapter number").

Hi Stefan and thanks for the response.
I have only one Style called "Captions" (it is the original style
that
came
with the defuault doc template). The way that I create the caption
is
by
right-clicking on the chart and selecting "insert caption." After
inserting
the caption, I can see from the Styles drop-down that "Caption" is
the
selected Style.

I would send you a screen shot but apparently that is not possible.

The error message indicates that Word cannot find the "chapter"
style.
Are
you sure that the correct style has been applied to text in the
document?

I am trying to write a long document with many charts and
captions.
Yesterday I inserted 8 charts with captions, and saved my doc.
Today I
added
a new chart, and a new caption.

The caption should say "Fig 3-9" (chapter 3, number 9; this is
automated).
What it says is "Fig Error! Style not defined. -9"

It also changes ALL of the figure captions in my ENTIRE document
to
say
the
same.

Any suggestions?
