Captions are inserted as fields and although they do renumber as you create
them they don't automatically update when you move them around [which, BTW,
is not a good idea]. In order to get them updated you can use Ctrl+A to
select All then right-click one of the caption numbers to select Update
Field.

Another option is to go into Word Options Display, add the check for
"Update fields before printing" so teh fields will update if you switch to
Print Preview or Print the document.

Hi,
I'm using word 2007 on Win XP sp3; in a docx document I'm trying to
use Insert caption /figure command; it starts well, but after some
changes in document (e.g moving paragraphs, arranging pages) have
observed that figures' numbers went crazy: number 3 before number 2
aso. Hardly tried to get back to the right order, without success. Any
ideea what's happening?

Thanks!
