Description jpe 2004-02-19 11:49:48 UTC
When integrating documents to masterdocument (12 documents all in all),
references to caption numbers of tables fail partially. In come occasions the
references are just fine, whereas some of them seem to pick a new caption number
somewhat sporadically, although  from within same subdocument (for example Table
5 should be Table 2). If the subdocument is opened, numberings are just fine
within it.

The problem exists with both 1.1.0 and 1.1.1b.

I've noticed the same problem as well.  I worked around it by numbering them
manually, but with one 64 chapter document, it was (and is) a huge pain -- not
just a small irritation.

I attached three files as an example (masterdocument, two subdocuments). The
situation with the caption numbers is same, although there is now only 2
subdocuments left. Thus the problem does not seem to have anything to do with
the number of subdocuments. The annoyment is anyway bigger when the amount
subdocuments and captions grows...

The problem still exists with ooo1.1.2. Hope this will get fixed soon, and hope
the priority will turned back to P2. I think the correct caption numbering
should be considered a basic function for creating a master document. Currently
the problem actually hinders people from using them. 

The problem creates huge and embarassing problems. For example I had my thesis
sent to pre-examination recently, with around 35 tables in it. When I found out
the problem with the captions I renumbered them by hand. You can imagine how
flawless work that turned out to be, when I got the pre-examination notes back...
