Is there a way to setup three numbered styles in a template such as the numbering continues across all three of them without restarting? For example, I have a FigureCaption, FigureCaptionCenter, and FigureCaptionRight style. These styles insert the numbering scheme "Figure #:" with just the paragraph alignment being the difference. Is there a way to get the numbering to continue for all three styles as if they were one numbered style?

Pam has suggested the best solution. If you want to use paragraph numbering (instead of the caption feature), you will have to create numbering for one style and then base the other styles on that style, so that they inherit the numbering.
You are welcome. :-)
Thank you for your help!!
Yes that worked great! Thank you so much! I had to use paragraph numbering and this works beautifully. Thanks!
You can do this by creating the captions in the default caption style and label and then by applying your paragraph styles to the captions as you see fit. --The paragraph style does not affect the Seq field numbering.
