5. Close the dialogue box.
If illustrations are moved with their captions by hand so that the sequence changes, it may be
necessary to update the numbers by pressing F9.
Numbering Illustrations by Chapters
Numbering illustrations by chapter, so that illustrations are labelled “Illustration
1.1 ”, “Illustration 1.2”, etc. in the first chapter and “Illustration 2 .1”,
“Illustration 2.2”, et cetera in the second is often useful. Here's how to proceed:
1. Organize the document by chapters if this is not already done. Select Tools > Outline
Numbering to number the chapter headings that are formatted, for example, with the
Paragraph Style “Heading 1”. Select the ”Heading 1” Style from the Paragraph
Style list box and the option “1, 2, 3,..” from the Number list box below it.
2. Select the first illustration to number.
3. Select Insert > Caption....
4. In the dialogue that appears, select Illustration as the category and Arabic (1 2 3)
as the numbering. Caption text can also be entered in this dialogue.
5. Click Options. Specify the chapter numbering in the Number Range Options dialogue.
For this example, select option “1” under Level and specify the separator wanted for
chapter-wise numbering.
6. Click OK.
7. In the Caption dialogue, click OK. The illustrations are now numbered by chapters.
Do the same for all other illustrations in the document. The numbering occurs automatically:
All illustrations within one chapter level are numbered, and the user can enter at which
chapter level to switch the numbering in the Number Range Options dialogue.
NOTE: Choose Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > General, and under Caption mark the Automatic
check box. When the button next to Object selection is clicked, the Caption dialogue appears. This is where one
can, for example, determine that from now on all illustrations in text documents receive a caption automatically.

2. Choose Insert > Picture > From File. The dialogue Insert Picture will appear.
3. Select the desired graphic and click on Open.
By default, graphics are inserted with its alignment centered above the current paragraph.
