Hi people!
I have a problem and I don’t how to fix it. My numbers are not consecutive. It starts in 9. I guess it happens when I have figures with references, because I started all over again and things were going write until my first figure with reference. What can I do to fix that?
Thank you for your help, mas it didn’t work. I converted in word 97-2003 and I couldn’t select my text box. 
I did’nt understand what you mean “I just put hidden text citations in the body of the paper, so they get numbered appropriately and plain text the references in the text boxes. – a pain”
Well I will try the columns. But I think that I will put the references in the text when I say :"In fig. x [ref] and in the figure i don’t pu anything.
Well I think I found the solution. What I did was: I insert a text box and then I put the image I want inside of text box. Then clicked in right button, format text box and in text box, convert to moldure, and voilá! I did it! I’m doing the same for all my images and the references keep starting on 1.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your help anyway.
My way it very easy and it didn’t give me much work even from start again 
Thank you.
