Number for figures,tables starts at 1 every chapter

[mattbnh]

I am sure there is a simple way to do this but in my PDF output, the figure and table captions restart numbering at 1 in every chapter.

What I want is for the first figure in chapter 3 to be Figure 6 if the previous chapters had 5 prior figures.

I am not using chapter page numbering; page numbers are continuous across chapters.

Here is the CSS for the FigureCaption (table is similar).

p.FigureCaption
{
text-align: center;
margin-left: 0in;
margin-right: 0in;
margin-top: 10pt;
margin-bottom: 14pt;
font-family: Arial;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 8pt;
letter-spacing: 0em;
color: #000000;
mc-auto-number-format: 'F:Figure {n+}:  ';
mc-auto-number-position: inside-head;
mc-auto-number-offset: 0px;
mc-auto-number-class: Emphasis;
text-indent: 0px;
line-height: 10pt;
text-decoration: none;
page-break-after: avoid;
}

You need to change your auto-number format to mc-auto-number-format: 'GF:Figure {n+}: '; The "G" tells it to make it a global counter. If you want it to only increment per chapter, then use "C" instead of "G".
