Problem with chapter numbering in captions

H

haitham

Hello,

I am writing a PhD thesis and require some help numbering my figures an
tables. I use Word 2003 and would like Word to restart numbering of my figure
and tables after each chapter (NOTafter each section). For example, captions o
figures/tables in Chapter 1 should read Figure/Table 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc, an
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 an
numbering seem to be fine with the correct chapter and figure numbers (I ticke
the "Include chapter number" and assigned Heading 1 for "Chapter starts wit
style" option).

So far so good! However, the problem is when I click OK after doing all o
these settings, for some reason the Chapter number field in the caption for th
desired figure/table does not appear correctly, rather it appears as "0" instea
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 greatl
appreciated.

Thank you

Haitham A. M. A.
