Graphics, Figures & Tables

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to change the appearance of the figure and table numbering in captions from, for example, Figure 1.1 to Figure 1-1?

Thanks!
Fiona

Hi Fiona,

welcome to the board!

You could redefine the presentation of the figure and table counter, such as

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thechapter-\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thechapter-\arabic{table}}

Hi Stefan,

Thanks, that worked perfectly!

I just started using LaTeX yesterday and it's so much fun to use/learn after years of struggling with Word!
