Hi,
Was wondering if any one had devised a way to number image/table captions
with chapter numbers in MS Word without using built-headings. My documents
use completely custom headings and I do not want to modify the built-in MS
headings. If you were to use the built-in MS Word caption function (under
Insert > Reference) then your only options appear to be the built-in
headers. I've tried using field codes and all sorts of style
implementations. I'm also not interested in using section breaks (in case
that happens to be a solution). These are pretty large documents with all
sorts of custom-defined styles and etc. minimizing the use of things such as
section breaks, and self-created paragraphs, etc. If you happen to have an
answer, I would be so very very very very happy! Yes, I say that with that
much enthusiasm because right about now I'm starting to believe MS Word to
be my mortal enemy :p
Thank you so much!
