Caption Labels

I have created my own Heading Styles that are linked to the Outline Levels.  These Headings are formatted with numberings in a Multi-level list. (i.e. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 as different styles)

After adding in the body text and photographs into the appropriate places I tried to add in captions.  I want the caption numbering to include chapter number.  However I got the following message:

Figure Error! No text of specified style in document..1 – Flower

 

How do I go about correcting this error?

If you click on the Numbering button in the Caption dialog to access the Caption Numbering dialog, you will see that the only styles available in the "Chapter starts with style" drop down are the Heading 1 thru Heading 9 styles.

 

You can create your own "captions" using a mixture of Cross-reference fields (to your Heading Style) and Sequence fields, but they will not be treated in the same way as the built-in captions.
