I have a numbering issue that does not appear to have been discussed
in the numbering posts in the various Word newsgroups, or in the
numbering explanations on the several web sites.
I have written a multi-chaptered document and I want the complete
chapter name in the header and figure captions in the form 'Fig 5-7:
Figure description.' A typical chapter title is 'Chapter 5: The Tools
Menu'. The chapter name is formatted with the 'Heading 1' style.
When I use outline-numbered headings, the figure numbers come out
correctly, but the header has the chapter title without the 'Chapter
5:' prefix that was set up in the outline numbering procedure. The
field in the header was '{STYLEREF "Heading 1" \*MERGEFORMAT}'. If I
stick \n after "Heading 1", I get 'Chapter 5:', but not the chapter
title. The other switches work about the same; I can have 'Chapter 5:'
or the chapter name but not both.
My solution is {STYLEREF "Heading 1" \w} {STYLEREF "Heading 1"
\*MERGEFORMAT)
The space between the } { is required to get a space between the colon
and the first character of the title.
Is this the accepted way to achieve the desired appearance?

Yes, you need to use two STYLEREF fields to get the text and
numbering.

Paul:
Yes, it is. You need to use two fields to do what you want :-)

Only thing I would change would be to delete the "MERGEFORMAT" or perhaps
change it to "CHARFORMAT."
