hello all,

Having an issue at the moment with generating captions for figures in Word 2003.

I select an object i want to generate a caption for. I choose 'figure', type in the text, click OK and it adds a caption starting with 'figure'.

The problem is the numbering is all wrong. It numbers the figure with the chapter number (say, '5' which i ask it to do) but it labels the first object of that chapter .2 instead of .1. So then it labels all my 'figure' captions for that chapter as 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and so forth.

Why won't it label the first 'figure' caption as 5.1?

I hope that makes sense, my mind has been Swiss cheese of late.

any help would be most appreciated. Thanks
