KB0187: After import from DOCX or ODT, why is caption numbering different from the original?

If you use sequence fields to number illustrations and other elements and they are missing chapter numbering, it may be because the automatic heading numbering is not enabled, which is required for sequence fields to show chapter (and section) numbering. Sequence numbering may also have incorrect settings.

Go to the Fields & Numbering page of Project Properties, and check Number headings automatically. Also click Edit Document Outline Style and ensure that Numbering style is not (none) for the levels you want to appear in headings.

Still in the Fields & Numbering page, click on Edit Sequence Definitions and ensure that for the sequence(s) categories you're interested in, the settings are as required, for example Restart at level: 1 to number illustrations by chapter. Also check Show level if you want chapter/section numbers to be shown.

Close this dialog and then the Project Properties dialog with OK, and use the Book | Update command to update fields and numbering. Your caption numbers, and references to them, should now reflect the changed settings.
