If instead you want to restart the numbering at each sub-heading select level 2. If you want all the tables in a chapter (that is, between two Heading 1 paragraphs) to be numbered sequentially independently of the sub heading they are under, select 1 as Level. Suppose your document uses Heading 1 style for chapters and Heading 2 style for sub-headings, and that this is how you set up your outline numbering.

Use Level to specify the outline levels that triggers a restart of the numbering as well as how many levels of outline numbering are shown before the table number.

Options available to chapter numbering for captions include the following:

For example, if the last figure caption you create in chapter 1 is Figure 1.15, and the next figure caption you create is in chapter 2, the numbering will start over at Figure 2.1. See Chapter 7 (Working With Styles) for information.īy adding chapter numbers to your captions, OOo will restart the caption numbering for each chapter it encounters. Some of these settings which refer to the outline level will only have an effect if you are using outline level paragraph styles on the chapter headings within your document.

In the Separator field, select the text and type a period (.) followed by a space.In the Numbering drop-down, select the Roman (I II III) option.In the Category field, select the text and type the word Fantasia.Open the Caption dialog box following the instructions above.For example, you might want your tables to be labeled as Fantasia, formatted with roman numerals, and using a period (‘.’) as a separator, as follows: You can also create your own category labels, formating, and separators.

If you need to establish the numbering and reference link for the caption, you can choose to leave your caption blank in the Caption dialog box and add it later. However, doing so may damage the automatic numbering and reference links. Once the category, numbering style and separator are established in the Caption dialog box, you can edit them in the document if you choose.
