I am writing a PhD thesis and require some help numbering my figures and tables. I use Word 2003 and would like Word to restart numbering of my figures and tables after each chapter (NOTafter each section). For example, captions of figures/tables in Chapter 1 should read Figure/Table 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc, and captions of figures/tables in Chapter 2 should appear as Figure/Table 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and so on. I use the built-in Heading 1 style for chapters.
When I go through the Insert/Reference/Caption routine, the caption label and numbering seem to be fine with the correct chapter and figure numbers (I ticked the "Include chapter number" and assigned Heading 1 for "Chapter starts with style" option).
So far so good! However, the problem is when I click OK after doing all of these settings, for some reason the Chapter number field in the caption for the desired figure/table does not appear correctly, rather it appears as "0" instead of the correct chapter number and this happens in all chapters. For example, Figure 1.4 in chapter 1 appears as Figure 0.4, Figure 2.6 appears as Figure 0.6, etc. The same problem happens with tables.
Is there any suggestions to resolve this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have exactly the same problem. After pressing ok, the number of the chapter changes from 2 to 0 so instead of Figure 2.1,I have Figure 0.1.
I tried to update TOC, but it did not solve the problem.
Could you please help ?
