Yikes - Section Breaks and Table Numbering

Hi all,

I am running into an issue with section breaks and table numbering in a
document (Word 2007).

I have a report that includes pages in both portrait and landscape
orientation, as well as numbered section headings. Wherever I've needed to
change the order of my pages, I've inserted section breaks.

I have a numbered chapter ("Heading1") on a "portrait" page that is followed
by a table on a "landscape" page. I need to insert a caption for the table
on the "landscape page", and the caption needs to include the Heading1
chapter number. The numbering shows up fine in the "Insert Caption" window
(i.e., Table 3-1), but displays as Table 0-1 in the document. I think that
I've severed ties to the chapter number by inserting a section break. In a
nutshell: I'm not sure how to change page orientation without severing ties
to my numbered headings.

Does anyone know how to do this? Help would be much appreciated - I've been
fighting with this for a while (and surfing for answers for even longer!).

Thanks!

If the document contains blank paragraphs (which often happens if you add
section or page breaks), make sure those paragraphs don't have the Heading 1
style applied (with numbering suppressed). Instead, apply a non-numbered
style such as Normal.

Worked like a charm - thanks very much!
