I followed the instructions in Shauna Kelley's article about how to create a new figure label for Appendices. I had success with one large document that I created, importing figures in the appendices as I went and creating the caption for each. I am using a template provided by my organization, with Heading 5 defined for Appendix headings.
I am now writing another large document, with the same template. This time, I wrote five appendices outside of this template, and now I am copying and pasting the text. The figures in the pre-written appendices were captioned with the main text figure label, so now I am converting them to the Figure_Apx label that Shauna described. Here is the problem. The first figure is labeled "Figure A-1". The second figure is labeled "Figure A-1". The third figure is labeled "Figure A-2". All figures thereafter are incremented correctly, but are one off.
I have looked at the codes (alt + F9) between the two documents and do not see any differences. I have tried changing the switch in those codes from "\s 5" to "\r 2" for the second figure, but maybe I do not understand that formatting--they seem to set to the desired values, but then change to something else at some point after I move onto setting this switch with other figures. I tried the switch "\n 5", but it was not recognized.
I did put section breaks before the first appendix and between each appendix thereafter.
Any ideas what is wrong and what is the solution?
