Thanks for your reply, Karl, it was useful. I'd already managed to get the "figure" part; your post gave me some clues about where to look for the rest. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find what I want. It now breaks down into 2 parts: Q1) Is it possible to have "two-tier" numbers on the same line, as I am needing (e.g. 00-01, where the first part represents the chapter number and the second part the section within the chapter?A) I believe it is, by using a combination of variable and cross reference in the heading line; though I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not absolutely certain Q2) Is it possible to specify a number format for each "tier" (chapter and section) so that I can have each represented as a two-digit number in the document? So far, I have not found a way to do this. There seems to be no way to specify that "leading zeroes" should be included when using a number range variable. Perhaps there is; I just don't know where to look to find out.....

you can use a variable in the figure caption. At first you should create the related variable, e.g. "Figure", from the menu Insert->Field->Other. In the Dialog choose type "Number range" and enter "Figure" as name and "Figure+1" as value. Select format "Arabic" and level 1. For all the following figures you just choose "Figure" under Selection.
