It would appear that you're numbering your figures by "chapter" (regardless
of how the "chapter" is defined). You could select a,b,c numbering and
include the chapter numbering (chapter being the heading level that provides
the number), but unfortunately there is no provision for having no separator
between the "chapter number" and the figure number, so that won't work. The
conventional way to treat these is 1.1 or 1-1.
If, on the other hand, you just have the occasional figure that's in several
parts, you can just add the a,b,c, to the end of the automatic caption
number. The tricky part, of course, is getting several figures running to be
numbered 1 or 2 or whatever. That's where you have to be a bit devious.
Insert your captions, including a, b, or whatever, as appropriate. Don't
worry about the numbering for the time being. When you've finished all the
captions, press Alt+F9. You'll see { SEQ Figure \* ARABIC }. Leave 1a
alone. Select 2b and add \c to the end of the field code:
{ SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \c }
Then F9 to update it. You'll see it's become 1b. For each caption where you
want the number to repeat the previous figure number, add the \c switch.
