SYMPTOMSIn a Word document, when you insert or update captions in a text box, the captions may not be numbered correctly. Case 1: When Captions Are Inserted into the Same Text BoxMultiple captions inserted into the same text box have the same caption number.Case 2: When Captions Are Inserted into Different Text BoxesCaptions inserted in different text boxes are out of sequence with the captions in the main document text.Case 3: When Captions Are Inserted into Separate, Linked, Text BoxesCaptions inserted into separate, linked, text boxes use an unexpected caption number or have the same caption number.CAUSECase 1: Captions in the Same Text BoxWord can't correctly update multiple caption fields in the same text box. The caption updating is based on the placement of the text box anchor in the main text area of the document. Only one caption field can be associated with any one text box anchor. Therefore, multiple caption fields in the same text box will be given the same caption number.Case 2: Captions in Multiple Text BoxesWord updates caption fields based on the placement of the text box anchor. If multiple text boxes are anchored to the same paragraph in the main text area of the document, Word can't update the caption fields in the desired sequence.Case 3: Captions in Linked Text BoxesEach text box has an anchor in the main text area of the document. When text boxes are linked, each text box retains its own anchor (there is not just one anchor for all of the linked text boxes). Word cannot keep track of the multiple anchors, and, therefore, the caption numbers are updated incorrectly.WORKAROUNDCase 1: Multiple Captions in a Single Text Box (Caption Numbers the Same)To work around this problem, place only one caption in a text box. If additional captions are required in a text box, create another text box for the next caption.Case 2: Captions Out of SequenceUse the following steps to move the text box anchors to different paragraphs to achieve the desired caption numbering sequence:
Case 3: Captions in Linked Text BoxesTo work around this problem, use any of the following options:
