table and figure captions

[Peter Gold]

Perhaps I'm missing something in your requirements, or I'm
misunderstanding your description, but another option is to create
text frames in anchored frames that contain the graphics, and tag the
caption paragraph with an autonumbered format that tracks the figure
numbers. Numbering in text frames in anchored frames in the same text
flow will track correctly with each other, and other paragraphs that
use the same autonumber series (identified by a prefix letter and
colon, such as S:) in the same text flow will also track correctly.
Extracted figure titles in TOCs will be in the correct order.

HTH

Regards,

Peter
