Caption dialog box default text not displaying

Hi, I set default numbering for captions. However when the caption dialog box displays, the figure value does not display as default in the caption box. I cannot write in it to append the title of the caption. How do I fix this?

For example i see 

If the Caption style has a (large) left indent or is defined to have center alignment, the preview may not be correct in the dialog box. This is an old bug in Word. If you click OK to insert the caption, does it display properly in the document?
