Custom Figure Captions
Hello Shauna,
It is Word 2003, I wasn't sure which Heading style to use so I thought I would simply use Heading 1, but I really don't know which Heading style to use. I wanted to replace 1 of the lesser used Heading Styles, e.g. I. Heading 1________ A. Heading 2_______ 1. Heading 3_______ It is at this point where things break down. I can alter the Heading styles but I still cannot get it to work when I try applying the captions. I hope this helps.

Hi Chris
First, set up your heading numbering as described he How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html At Insert Reference Caption, use the Numbering button to control numbering. The "Format" controls the format of the number of the caption itself (if you want Picture 1-A, set this to A, B, C). If you tick "Include chapter number" you'll get a two-part number. The first part of the number will be the number picked up from whatever style you choose in "Chapter starts with style". The separator will be whatever separator you choose. If you want Picture 1-A, choose "-". Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Chris" wrote in message ...
