Change caption numbering style - Word
Hi, I'm trying to add captions to my figures in a Word document. However I need to use this format:
Figure (figure_number) - (chapter_number)
For example:
Chapter 2
...
Figure 1-2
The default format is the chapter number, the separator and the figure number, but I need to reverse that order. Thanks for your help!
Word doesn't include an option to change the order between chapter and figure numbers.
What you can do is insert a caption in the <chapter #>-<figure #> format and then manually rearrange the numbers. Select the result and save it as an AutoText entry which can be easily reused in this or other documents.
- Thank you!
