我需要创建一个带有编号标题和编号表格的文档。
第 1 章中的表格应编号为 1-1、1-2 等。第 2 章中的表格应编号为 2-1、2-2 等。等等。
但是,级别只有9级,所以到了第10章,我怎么继续编号为10?-1、10-2......,第十一章编号为11-1、11-2......?

The Chapter Numbering only works across different documents when the document is combined into a Book FIle. 

 

The numbering levels I think you're confused about. 

Which I too was confused about and asked too - many years ago

There's plenty of tutorials for complex multi-level numbering

 

Here's some help for Chapter Numbering

To add to that 

 

Chapter Number will insert whatever chapter number that is 

Like Chapter 100

Paragraph Numbering will go up to whatever is need like 1000 

 

The levels would be like 2 levels 

Chapter + Number Level 1

Chapter 1 Number 1

1.1

 

Chapter 2 would be

2.1

 

If you add another level that would be 3 levels

2.1.a

 

9 levels could be 

Chapter 1000 + Number levels, 1,2,3,4,5,8,9

 

1000.29.d.iv. etc

 

Would be 
Chapter 1000

Section 29

Subsection d

Subpoint iv

etc

I have a book with twelve chapters. I hope the graphic title number of the first chapter is “Figure 1-01, Figure 1-02”..., the second chapter is “Figure 2-01, Figure 2-02”..., and the third chapter is “Figure 3-01, Figure 3-02”... .I tried “Figure^H-^#^(” But the result is that the graphic numbers of multiple chapters are repeated and start with 1, such as the first chapter is “Figure 1-01”, “Figure 1-02”..., the second chapter is “Figure 1-01”, “Figure 1-02”..., instead of “Figure 2-01”, “Figure 2-02”... .After that, I changed it to “Figure 1-^#^(”, but this time in chapters one to nine, I have a graphic caption numbering style in one chapter, no problem, but after the tenth chapter, I can't continue “Figure 10-01, Figure 10-02”, “Figure 10-03...", because the numbering level is only 9, so the tenth chapter cannot continue. What should I do?How to implement the first chapter Graphic numbering Figure 1-01..., the second chapter Figure 2-1..., the tenth chapter Figure 10-01……
