Changing Caption Numbering Styles

If you use the captioning features of Word, you can automatically number all your captions. For instance, all your tables and figures could be numbered using consecutive numbers. In addition, Word allows you to specify how you want the numbers to appear in the caption. To change numbering styles for your captions, follow these steps:

1. Choose Caption from the Insert menu. Word displays the Caption dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
2. Click on the Numbering button. Word displays the Caption Numbering dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. Using the Format drop-down list, choose the format you want used for your caption numbers.
4. Click on OK to close the Caption Numbering dialog box.
5. Click on OK to insert your caption.
