I'm working on Chapter 1 of the Base Guide changing it to the 3.3
template and changing the front page graphics. I used the template extension to
apply the template already.
Recently after following instructions on anchoring graphics and what
paragraph styles to use, I decided my first task in this chapter is to apply
the appropriate styles to the figures in this chapter.
As I looked through the figures, I noticed that the numbering of the
figures were not accurate. Furthermore, every time after using OOoHeading1, the
figure number reset to Figure 1.
As a test, open a new document using the 3.3 template. Then I created two
frames with numbered captions with a line style of OOoTextBody between the
frames. They were in consecutive order. When I changed the text style for the
line between the frames from OOoTextBody to OOoHeading 1, the bottom frame's
numbered captions changed from Figure 2 to Figure 1. The other heading styles
do not seem to affect the captioning numbering.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening? I'm using the OOo3.3
on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64 bit. The OOo is from the OOo website.

The most likely cause is a problem in the outline numbering. Check
Tool> outline numbering. --Jean
In a template copy, OOoHeading 1 is the first-level outline-numbering
style, with a restart value of "1" (no alphanumeric number system was
specified--none was the entry--with no sublevels).
Over a month ago. I had amended that template, modifying it to account
for some omitted styles and for some copyediting errors. But I probably
failed to install that amended version on my forum site, as yet--in case
anybody wanted it. I was working on other things recently.
In any event, I just checked a template copy of the original OOo 3.3
chapter template, and the autonumbering for the OOoFigureCaption style
was OK for its two figures (and the tables were also OK...), even though
an OOoHeading 1 style separated the two figure instances in the
template's exposition.
