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.
