Default Missing Appendix custom labels

Hello,



I am currently writing my thesis and I am having a nightmare with my Appendix custom labels. I have created custom labels to link to my Heading 7 (Appendix number). I keep on creating the labels and everytime I close my document I lose the custom labels and cannot cross-reference. I would really really appreciate any help as this has proven extremely time-consuming. Not sure what I'm doing wrong!

I am unsure what you are talking about with custom labels, which applies to Captions.
The following may help.

It's not clear what you are talking about but I'm guessing that you are using automatic outline numbering on the Heading 7 and the styles are refreshing (from attached template) on open to remove those heading numbers.

Perhaps you should save a copy of the document and cut out most of the content but leave enough that demonstrates the problem and load that file to this thread so we can look at what your problem is. Once we can see your issue it will be easy enough to fix.

If you are referring to numbering captions in an appendix, as discussed in the article How to number headings and figures in Appendixes in Microsoft Word | ShaunaKelly.com, note that caption labels are not stored with the document. Instead, they will be added to the Normal template. This means that you have to recreate the labels if you work on more than one computer. What you can do is store the labels as AutoText entries. See the article.
