I want to turn off automatic numbering for tables, figures, or other items.

I see {SEQ TABLE \* ARABIC} instead of the caption.
Microsoft Word inserts captions as fields. If your caption looks similar to {SEQ TABLE \* ARABIC}, Word is displaying field codes instead of field results.
To see the field results, right-click the field code, and then click Toggle Field Codes on the shortcut menu. (If you want to see the results for every field in the document, select the entire document before you right-click a field code.)
I selected the Include chapter number check box, but chapter numbers aren't included in captions.
Chapter headings may not be formatted with the correct heading styles. On the Format menu, click Bullets and Formatting, and then click the Outline Numbered tab. Click a numbering format that contains the text "Heading 1", "Heading 2", and so on, and then click OK.
I see "Error! No text of specified style in document."
Chapter numbers may be turned on in the Caption Numbering dialog box. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Caption. Click Numbering, and then clear the Include chapter number check box.
If you edited, deleted, or moved captions.
Caption numbers in the rest of the document might be out of sequence. You should manually update the captions. Select a specific caption or an entire document, right-click the selection, and then click Update Field on the shortcut menu.
If you inserted captions in text boxes.
Caption numbers might be duplicated or out of sequence. This is because you can anchor only one text box to a specific paragraph, and you can include only one caption in that text box.
Also, you can include only one caption in a series of linked text boxes. If necessary, move multiple captions into separate text boxes, move each text box anchor to a separate paragraph, and/or unlink the text boxes. Then manually update the captions.
If you grouped a caption with a floating object.
Caption numbers might appear as zeroes (0). You need to ungroup the caption and the object. Then manually update the captions.
