Numbering Illustrations by Chapters
Numbering illustrations by chapter, so that illustrations are labelled “Illustration
1.1 ”, “Illustration 1.2”, and so on in the first chapter and “Illustration
2 .1”, “Illustration 2.2”, et cetera. in the second, is easily done. Use the following
procedure to do this:
1. Organize a document in chapters.
Choose Tools > Outline Numbering to number the chapter headings that are formatted. For
example, where there is the Paragraph Style “Heading 1”, select the ”Heading 1” Style
from the Paragraph Style list box and the option “1, 2, 3,..” from the Number list
box below it.
2. Select the first illustration for numbering.
3. Choose Insert > Caption....
4. In the dialogue that appears, select Illustration as the category and Arabic (1 2 3) as the
numbering. Caption text can also be entered in this dialogue.
5. Click Options.
6. Specify the chapter numbering in the Number Range Options dialogue. For example,
select option “1” under Level and specify the separator wanted for chapter numbering.
7. Click OK.
8. In the Caption dialogue, click OK. The illustrations are now numbered by chapters.
9. Repeat 1-7 for all other illustrations in the document.
Numbering now occurs automatically: All illustrations within one chapter level are
numbered,appropriately and the chapter level numbering wanted can be changed in the
Number Range Options dialogue.
NOTE: Choose Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > General, and under Caption mark the Automatic
check box. When the button next to Object selection is clicked, the Caption dialogue appears. Here one can, for
example, determine that all illustrations in text documents from now on receive captions automatically.

document that belong together. For example, notes, warning messages, quotations, et cetera.
The following procedure shows how to do this:
1. For example, type “Note Number” in front of the first note.
2. Choose Insert > Fields > Other....
3. On the Variables tab page, select the “Number Range” field.
4. For the Name, enter “Note.”
