Good afternoon

I am sure there is a simple trick to it, but I nevertheless cannot
figure it out.
The official documentation does not seem to mention it.

I am writing a sort of "book" with a number of pictures in it. Some have
captions, others are just for decorations.
Since this is not something like a science book, I do not really have
"chapters", but there are sections with
headings, to which I applied a certain style.

I would like to have the captions numbered continuously from 1 to xx.
Yet, after each heading LO starts with 1 all over again, which makes it
very difficult to say:
"look at picture No. 7".

Is there a way of telling LO to number these captions continuously?

Thank you.
Thomas
This should be controlled in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer >
AutoCaption. "Numbering captions by chapter" should be set to "None".
When you make this change, the caption numbers may not change
immediately. But if you then add an additional picture to the end of the
document, all the caption numbers change to what they should: 1 to xx.
To test this, I created a text document inserting some pictures and
Heading 1 styles between them. This test was done on LO 3.6.5 downloaded
from the LO website.
