Custom edit first number of a caption

[Martin L]

I am using word 2007 with captions for figures, tables, and a custom caption.

I would like to be able to change the first number of the captions in a
document as I have split a large report over multiple word documents.

Thanks in advance.

If you toggle the field codes - ALT+F9, you will see

Figure { SEQ Figure \* ARABIC }

Locate the figure you wish to renumber and add an \r switch eg

Figure { SEQ Figure \r12 \* ARABIC }

The figure will update to 12 and subsquent entries when updated will follow.

You can use the macro at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to
simplify updating.
