Numbering captions

[Guest]

I am trying to insert figure captions into a word document. When I go to
Insert>Reference>Caption> My caption number says "Chapter 1 Figure 1." I
don't want my "Figure 1" to be preceded by Chapter 1. I can't figure out
where this chapter 1 is coming from. The "include chapter number" box is
UNCHECKED. My heading styles are based on MS preset headings 1 - 5 etc.
Although, I have fiddled with these quite a bit in trying to get my document
formatted properly so that I can eventually have separate chapters. There
are no chapter headings. My outlining and numbering are all set to none.

When you insert a caption, Word applies the Caption style. The
"Chapter #" part indicates to me that the Caption style has been
modified to include a number format. Display the Modify Style dialog
box (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html),
click the Format button, click Numbering. In the Bullets and Numbering
dialog box, choose the "None" option, and then click OK to confirm the
settings in each dialog box.

Thank you!! That was driving me crazy.
