caption numbering fault

Hello,

My document consists of:

Chapter I

  1.1

  1.2

Chapter II

  2.1

  2.2

I assigned headings to all the title. Everything works well, until I want insert caption to my tables and figures. The caption, shown Table I.1 or Table II.2. How can I change it to Table 1.1 or Table 2.2, without changing the Heading 1.

Thank you

Answer

To start with, how are you getting the 1.1, 1.2 or 2.1 and 2.2.  If you have the numbering assigned to the Heading 1 style as Roman Numerals, you would get

Chapter I

I.1

I.2

Chapter II

II.1

II.2

To achieve what you are after, you will need to format the Numbering assigned to the Heading 1 styles as 1, 2, 3. and format that Style as Hidden and then you could use the Heading 9 Style for the Chapter I, Chapter 2 etc.  When you start a new chapter, you will need to insert both the hidden Heading 1 and the Heading 9 paragraphs.   With the display and printing of Hidden text turned off, you will not see the Heading 1 styled paragraphs, but their numbering will be available for use in the captions.
