Molly, Here's how I do it. 1. For my figure title paragraph format, in the Paragraph Designer, on the Numbering tab, I checked the Autonumber Format checkbox to turn on autonumbering. 2. In the Autonumber Format box, I put "F:Fig. <n+>. " This causes "Fig. 1. " to appear before the first figure title, and to increment with each additional figure. The letter and colon (in this case, "F:") is the "flow." It sets this numbering scheme separate from any others you may have set up. It could be any letter. I picked F: for figures. You might want to use T: to have your separate numbering scheme for tables in your table title format. You can also choose a character format in the Numbering tab to make "Fig. 1. " bold. Personally, I think it's so much easier to number all figures, tables, etc. with one scheme. It makes it so much easier for the reader to find them. Will the reader find Table 4 before or after Fig. 38? If it's called Fig. 39, instead of Table 4, the answer is clear. Mike Wickham
