I've searched both the users guide and advanced features guide for 1.3.2 without finding the answer to this question: how do I number figures consecutively in a book class?
search the mail archive
The default (when I place the figure in a figure float) is to number them by chapter; for example, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 and so on. What do I need to do if I want them numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.?
