Good afternoon!

In finalizing some formatting in a large word document. I have changed certain headings from Heading 1 to Heading 7. Unfortunately, I've run into some problems with the related Table headings.

Namely as I change one heading from 1 to 7, automatically updating my table captions connects them to the PREVIOUS chapter; the one that still has Heading 1. (Continuous section breaks included at each end)

When I make a new caption in the Heading 7 chapter and use "chapter starts with style ... Heading 7" in the Numbering options, it works correctly for the following tables, but all of the tables in the Heading 1 sections are now incorrectly numbered! (i.e. Heading 1 should be 1.1, 1.2, etc.; Heading 7 should be A.1, A.2, etc.)

Can anyone help correct my captioning in the document?

Thanks,
Bryan
