Re: [libreoffice-users] captions and headings

Thanks for your reply, Karl, it was useful. I'd already managed to get the "figure" part; your post 
gave me some clues about where to look for the rest. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find what 
I want. It now breaks down into 2 parts:
Q1) Is it possible to have "two-tier" numbers on the same line, as I am needing (e.g. 00-01, where 
the first part represents the chapter number and the second part the section within the chapter?A) 
I believe it is, by using a combination of variable and cross reference in the heading line; though 
I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not absolutely certain
Q2) Is it possible to specify a number format for each "tier" (chapter and section) so that I can 
have each represented as a two-digit number in the document? So far, I have not found a way to do 
this. There seems to be no way to specify that "leading zeroes" should be included when using a 
number range variable. Perhaps there is; I just don't know where to look to find out.....
Thanks,/Gary

Hi Gary,

you can use a variable in the figure caption. At first you should create the related
variable, e.g. "Figure", from the menu Insert->Field->Other. In the Dialog choose
type "Number range" and enter "Figure" as name and "Figure+1" as value. Select format
"Arabic" and level 1. For all the following figures you just choose "Figure" under
Selection.
