I have a word document containing images and tables. These have captions which are numbered, like "Image 1-Example of something". Later on I decided to rearrange some of chapters of my document. However numbering of objects remained the same, so the first image is image 8, the second is image 3, etc.I want to force Word to recompute image numbering so first image in document would be image 1, the second - image 2, etc.Is that possible? Will references (added through cross reference feature) to those objects be updated?
You can force Word to update all captions by selecting the entire document (Ctrl+A) and then pressing F9. That should update the numbering. But you might also have to then update your List of Tables and List of Figures separately. When I've done that, the LOT and LOF then reflect the right numbering.
