Auto-Caption Not Working in Microsoft Word

Anonymous

I have a document which I have inserted all images I need within said document. I have approximately 50+ images. I want to automatically label each image with 'Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3'... and so on, however, when I try to apply auto-captioning it does not apply.

I have made sure to select that all bitmap images are to be labelled. I have also tried applying auto-captioning and then inserting a bitmap image but this also doesn't work.

I am using the latest version of Word and I cannot find anyone with a similar issue online.

Any help is much appreciated!

    I am also experiencing the same problem as Helen_521. In my version of Word, I do have an option to a BMP image and use the autocaption feature. I am also perplexed as to why it is not working. Thank you for any additional information! -Amanda

    Hi Helen,

    Currently, there’s no images options under AutoCaption settings. So that’s why it will not work.

     

    But you can use VBA to do that. Reference for you: How to automatically add captions to images in Word document? The code has been designed for you, you just need to copy paste to your VBA window. It is working based on my test.
