Automatic image numbering

Unread post by Svetlana Akulova »

Hello! I have a question for you.
I'll try to explain.
We have images in our hmxz project that are numbered. Is it possible to make automatic end-to-end numbering in hmxz project, as, for example, in MS Office Word? Because if, for example, I add a new image somewhere in the middle that I need to change the numbers of all subsequent images.

Check out the figure counter variable.

Hi Svetlana,

You can't number the images automatically, but as John points out the figure and table numbering variables will allow you to achieve what you want with a little manual input. The benefit is that you can exclude images that you don't absolutely want in the sequence, which wouldn't be possible with automatic numbering.
