Figure number updating

[Patricia Carmel]

Hi,
First of all, I panicked and it transpired that it was only in two (though major) chapters in a five-chapter book, and not all. After I calmed down a bit, I discovered the following:
 
There was a disconnect between my first page, where the first figure appeared and the next page, where the second figure appeared, which is why the second figure thought it was the first one. The question was why: Autoconnect was selected and the tag letter between the frames was consistent.  
 
Well, I don't know - the only explanation is that the material was pasted from Word, and there must have been a massive amount of garbage screwing up the document. My solution was to recreate the info on the first page, apply the first page master page, then delete the corrupt first page.  So far, holding my breath, but it seems to have worked.
 
Thanks.
 
Patricia

Hopefully, the problem is due to numbering series. How is the autonumber string defined? What other series are used in the documents? How are the captions created? 

Unfortunately, I have experienced numbering problems if the caption is a text frame within the anchored frame. If the anchored frames are copied, and not created from scratch, the numbering sequence eventually breaks. 

But for that to happen in ALL your files seems bizarre. Unless all the files were started from a common copy... 

Perhaps with more details we can be of more help.
