I’ve been wasting a lot of time numbering and renumbering the figures in my chapter – so I finally spent some time looking up how to it automatically. Go to the Insert menu and select Caption is the answer. Caption doesn’t come up automatically on my Insert menu – but it is buried within the system.

Phew. Job done. Now, why didn’t I bother to look that up weeks ago?

Oh, and as a follow-up, the Insert menu also allows you to add cross references. What a useful facility 🙂
