Sure. You'll have to fiddle with the LaTeX-Preamble, but it's not that
complicated.
Just add the following to lines:
\@addtoreset{equation}{section}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
This sets a dot between the current section number and does the (normal)
arabic numbering scheme for your formulas. Sure you want to start the
numbering with 1 when a new section begins, so you have to use the
\@addtoreset directive, to "reset" the numbering with each section.

Replace the phrases {\theequation} with {\thetable}, {\thefigure} and
{equation} with {table}, {figure} and don't forget to adapt the
\@addtoreset command as well.
To the others in this list:
--> What about (another feature for the next version?) a dialog box to
handle this behaviour? I think, it's quite common to use the mentioned
numbering scheme with larger documents? Or is it worth to be added to an
FAQ?
To Michael: Hope this helps!

Frank
