Hi,


I am writing a report for college. I need to use some graphics like pictures and graphs. I need to name them as Fig. 1, 2, 3, etc.


I understand that Word can do this by adding a caption with a label to the picture. Nice! Also I can use styles/caption to modify. Nice!


But, as writing goes in can be quite messy in early stages where the structure can get moved a lot, content added/removed.


So my problem is as follows. I write and keep adding graphics from various sources. I add caption and references. Word keeps the numbering going automatically. Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.




But when I decide to move a heading or the picture to a different position within the document, word doesn't change the numbering accordingly. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even moved the caption with the picture .

Example, I have Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig 3.
Fig. 3 now gets moved to the start of the document. Now we have Fig. 3, Fig. 2, Fig. 1 instead of the proper descending order.


And the caption doesn't move with the picture.



How do people deal with this issue? I supposed I could just add pictures and add captions in the final stage, but I would much prefer to do it as I go.




Am I doing something wrong?
