Captions in Word

I am trying to place a caption under Tables and Figures that include chapter numbers as follows: Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, Figure 2.1. I follow all instructions but when I enter the caption it returns ...

Well, I thought I had things sorted out. However, I opened the document this morning and it is giving me the following error message instead to the chapter number: Error! No text of specified style in document. This is true for tables and figures. I did add a figure then put a caption under it. Can you help me with what is going on here?Stefan_Blom

The message indicates that the STYLEREF is looking for a paragraph style that it cannot find. Double-check that the correct style is applied to text.

    Sounds like you finally got it sorted. That is good news. 🙂

    Somehow I had changed the chapter number header back to CHAPNUM instead of Header 1. I placed Header 1 back in my styles, based it on CHAPNUM so I have the correct formatting. I then reset the chapter number heading to Header 1 and picked the correct numbering scheme. After that, everything worked. Thanks again for all your patience. I really learned a lot.

    It is of course a good thing that you fixed it. What did the problem turn out to be?

    What I don't understand is that it was working great until today. Suddenly, I am getting this message when I didn't change anything. The style for my Chapter Number header is CHAPNUM and I have the 1 1.1.1 numbering scheme selected. Why would it work fine then suddenly do this?Stefan_Blom
