Word – How to change numbering style in word 2010 image caption

From Microsoft Office Support:

Make the header or footer different in each section or chapter

If your document is divided into sections, you can vary the headers and footers so that they display different content for each section. For example, if your document is divided into chapters by using section breaks, the chapter title can be displayed in the header of each chapter.

** Tip ** If you are unsure whether your document has sections, you can search for them.

1. Click Drafts on the status bar.

2. On the Home tab, in the Find group, click Go To.

3. Click Section.

4. Click Next to find section breaks in the document.

5. Draft view makes it easy to see the section breaks in the document.

Add section breaks to a document

If your document is not divided into sections, you can insert section breaks where you want the header or footer to vary.

1. Starting at the beginning of the document, place the cursor at the beginning of the page where you want to start varying the header or footer.
2. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Breaks, and then under Section Breaks, click Next Page.
3. Place the cursor at the beginning of the next page where you want to vary the header or footer, such as the first page of a new chapter.
4. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Breaks, and then under Section Breaks, click Next Page.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for every section break that you want in the document.

Use a document's section breaks to vary the header or footer

If your document is already divided into sections, you can use the section breaks to configure headers and footers.

1. Starting at the beginning of the document, click in the first section for which you want to vary the header or footer.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Header & Footer group, click Header or Footer.

1. Click Edit Header or Edit Footer.
2. On the Headers & Footers tab, in the Navigation group, click Link to Previous to break the connection between the header or footer in this section and the previous section.
3. Change the existing header or footer, or create a new header or footer for this section.
4. In the Navigation group of the Design tab (Header & Footer contextual tab), click Next Section to advance the cursor to the header or footer of the next section.
5. On the Headers & Footers tab, in the Navigation group, click Link to Previous to break the connection between the header or footer in this section and the previous section.
6. Change the existing header or footer, or create a new header or footer for this section.
7. Repeat the previous three steps for all of the sections in the document.

Use the same header or footer across section boundaries

In a document where the header or footer varies by section, you can make the header or footer the same across section boundaries.

1. Double-click the header or footer that you want to preserve across section boundaries.
2. On the Headers & Footers tab, in the Navigation group, click Next Section .
3. Click Link to Previous .
4. Office Word 2007 will ask if you want to delete the header and footer and connect to the header and footer in the previous section. Click Yes.

In your document, go to the first Heading 1 entry, select the numbering drop down on the Home bar and choose "Set Numbering Value". Select 1.

Now right-click on the Heading 1 style quick selector and chose the first option that should say "Update Heading 1 to Match Selection".

I think that should do it. You are right though, this has got hellishly more complex!! There doesn't even seem to be a standard style template that uses numbered chapters!
