In Word 2007, I 1am trying to create a list of figures and a list of tables.
In order to do that, I must put captions on my tables on figures.
In order to do that, I believe that I have to create multilevel numbering.
- I do not want the numbers to appear in my text next any levels of headings.
- When I create multilevel numbering, chapters number themselves inconsistently and inaccurately. (I don't even want to use multilevels to create chapter numbers or numbers next to levels of headings. I just want to use those numbers to add captions to figures and tables. I tried to hide the auto-generated heading text and number, but the hidden text now creates extra indents, and it numbers each chapter inconsistently and inaccurately.)
- When I create captions, the captions in chapter two, for example, get labeled Figure 0.<number> because, somehow, that part of the document doe not realize that it should be, say Figure 2.<number>. Manually creating a label does not allow my table of figures to generate numbers correctly.
Currently, my chapter title is in a self-created style called Chapter Title. All my chapter names are Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. with no other wording.
I have a separate Heading 1 style in each chapter.
Any thoughts on why numbering could be going haywire?
