caption dialog box
I have Word 2007. The caption box in the caption DIALOG box is set on
"Figure 3". How do I change it so it will always start with "Figure 1"? Thanks |

caption dialog box
If it's starting on Figure 3, then that suggests that there are two
instances of: { seq figure } earlier in the document. As long as those are present, it's going to start with Figure 3. Note: the caption numbering uses SEQ fields to produce figure numbers. Each occurrence of { SEQ Figure } increases the count by 1. If you have earlier chapters in that document and want figure numbering to restart, then you'd need insert a hidden seq field that resets the numbering, e.g., {seq figure \h \r0}. Note: field braces are inserted with Ctrl+F9, and are updated with F9. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "kj" wrote in message ...
