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!

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."

I don't believe there is any way to do what you want through the Caption
dialog, but you can insert StyleRef fields in your captions to pick up
the
numbering of the specific desired heading.

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?
