MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / September 2003Figure or Caption numbering
Hi, how do you control figure (or caption) numbering? The numbering starts from one in each section, would like to continue counting from the previous section. Using Word 2000 in XP Pro, all service packs. Thanks, Goran Ekstrom Close Talk Hi Goran, > how do you control figure (or caption) numbering?

I'm guessing the SEQ fields used with the caption numbering contain a switch that's doing this. Look up "SEQ field" in Word's Help, read up on what the switches do, and compare what Word has inserted into your document (Alt+F9 toggles between field result display and field code) Also, see WD2000: Caption Numbers Reset When Caption Has Chapter Number [Q212158] http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=212158 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jan 24 2003) http://www.mvps.org/word This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi Cindy. It appears that by including the chapter number in the figure numbering, the counting starts at 1 for each section. OK, that makes sence but it could be mentioned somewhere!

OK, that makes sence but it could be > mentioned somewhere! that's the default behavior for the original release of Word 2000. But it is a relatively simple matter of removing a switch (\s, if I recall correctly) from the SEQ fields to change the behavior. It's not mentioned anywhere - EXCEPT the quoted KB article - because it was 1) new and 2) unintended that it was the default behavior.
