Default
Word captions make use of SEQ fields. The user interface won't allow you to change the starting number, but you can do it manually. Press Alt+F11 to reveal the field codes. Locate the first { SEQ Figure } field. At the end of the field code, type in \r 11 and then press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. To update the fields, switch to Print Preview and then back to your previous view (Ctrl+F2 followed by ESC).
