I have a story which contains a number of Figures-with-Captions — some of the Figure/Captions are anchored, and some are un-anchored ("free floating"). Anchored object captions automatically number sequentially according to their anchor position in the document (the first anchored Figure/Caption is auto-numbered Figure 1; the second-in-line Figure/Caption, Figure 2; an so on). Makes perfect sense. However, un-anchored objects seem to number randomly (or by some other criteria).
The problem: if I place, for example, an UN-anchored Figure/Caption object in between two Anchored Figure/Caption objects, it does not change the numbering scheme such that the numbering of the set of objects (from top to bottom of story) is sequential.
The question: is there a method to assign sequential numbering to Figure/Caption objects when some of those objects are anchored, and some are not?
