Caption Numbering and Chapter Heading
Hi,
Do you know if it is possible, when retrieving the header number using the StyleRef field, to extract only a specific sub-level. Like if you have '7.1', is there a way to extract only the '1'? Thanks! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: For starters, you might want to look at Word's Help topic "Field codes: StyleRef field." Then use Insert | Field to insert a StyleRef field referring to your heading style, checking the box for "Insert paragraph number" or "Insert paragraph number in full context." -- Suzanne S.

"JustSu" wrote in message ... How do I use different chapter headings for caption numbers? For instance, figures in section 1.2 should be numbered Figure 1.2-1, Figure 1.2-2, etc., while figures in section 1.2.1 should be numbered Figure 1.2.1-1, Figure 1.2.1-2, etc. If I set a chapter heading style for one figure, all figures in the document are changed to that chapter heading style. What should I be doing differently? |

Thanks! I played with pretty much all of the switches and could not get only
the sub-part. Is the 'context' setting part of the StyleRef field? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I'd suggest experimenting with the "context" setting to see what the various switches do. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, but I think I have bad news. If your paragraph number includes previous
levels, you will get them regardless. The "Field codes: StyleRef field" Help topic explains the relevant switches this way: \n Causes the field to display the entire paragraph number for a referenced paragraph without trailing periods. No information about prior levels is displayed unless it is included as part of the current level. \r Inserts the entire paragraph number of the bookmarked paragraph in relative context€” or relative to the paragraph numbering scheme€” without trailing periods. \w Inserts the paragraph number of the bookmarked paragraph in full context, from anywhere in the document. For example, when referencing paragraph "ii.," a STYLEREF field with the \w switch would return "1.a.ii" as a result. -- Suzanne S.
