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?
Word treats items in text boxes first. – I used to get around this by converting the text box to a frame in older versions of word. that is harder to do in new versions…see this knowledgebase article: http://endnote.com/kb/82359
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. Blame Microsoft. Another trick I have heard is to try and put the figures in a single column table instead of in a text box. – I haven’t tried that yet.
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!
Sorry I missed your reply. – The trick to which I was refering,can be achieved by inserting a citation near the reference to the figure in the text, and then select the whole formated citation and right click -format font, and select “hidden”. – this will be included in the numbered citations, but won’t appear. – the problem with that is that you can’t see it (unless you display hiden text) and you have to manually put the right number in the figure legend itself. – The solution you used, is the best way!
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.
