Continuous figure numbering skips a chapter

[Peter Kelly]

Hello fine Framers,

For the life of me I can't figure out why my figure numbers are
restarting at every chapter but my table numbers are continuous. The
numbering begins at chapter 1, restarts at chapter 2, and then becomes
continuous at chapter 3. Chapter 1 leaves off at Figure 7 and the first
figure in chapter 3 begins at Figure 8...

The autonumber format for my figure caption is: F:Figure <n+>: \t
I am running FM 8, and yes I have the latest patcheroos.

All enlightenment is much appreciated,
Peter
