Yes, it's possible, but not like this. You'll have to create a single numbering stream for both headings and tables. If your headings are now defined as H:<n>.<n>.<n+> you can change this to H:<n>.<n>.<n+>< > and your table definition is H:Table <n>.<n>.<n>-<n+> The < > means that the number won't be displayed in your headings. Your numbering scheme would be a bit unusual, though. Using only the chapter number is more common, IMO. H:Table <n>.< >.< >-<n+> Harro de Jong
