Numbering sub-figures

[heavy]

Hello,

I have a document with 4 figures. The first figure is section 1 and the other three are in section 3.

What I would like is to have the first figure numbered "Figure 1" and the second three figures numbered "Figure 2.a", "Figure 2.b", and "Figure 2.c".

If I set the level, then I am getting the section number (i.e., "Figure 1.a", "Figure 3.a", "Figure 3.b", and "Figure 3.c"), which is not what I want. Of course, I could just number them consecutively, but the last three figures do connotate sub-figures, so it would be better to number them that way.

Is there any way to do what I want?

Thanks.

One number range takes one formatting throughout the document. Your workaround will be to use two separate number ranges. To change the starting number, if needed, type a value in the Value fields on the Variables tab in teh Insert Field dialog. You can also double-click a field to change it: for instance, change "Drawing+1" to "5" if you want a number to start with 5.

Probably best to manually number them. Otherwise next time you have another set of subfigures you'll need to create a completely new number range. I've found this the easiest solution.

Manual numbering the easiesst solution? Maybe, if you have but four figures. For consistency, you should strive towards having not too many differing numbering formats in one document.
