Numbers before labels in captions?

Hello. How can I insert captions with number and then my custom label automatically? For example:

It seems I can only insert captions with my label and then the number. Also I can't type my label manually, I need to be able to caption automatically like this: 1 equation, 2 equation, 3 equation... Can't find any help on google.

You could use SEQ fields to number them (though not automatically). Create a SEQ field e.g


{ SEQ Equation \# "# equation" }

(the brackets are placed with CTRL+F9)

save it as an autocorrect entry for (say) #eq and insert it wherever you wish, or simply copy and paste.

SEQ fields do not update automatically so you can either select the document (CTRL+A) and update (F9) or use a macro to do so - see the example at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
