customizing Headings in Captions

[Guest]

Hi, if I am using captions to create my table numbers,
how can I modify the drop down menu (if I select use
chapter number) to include my customized styles? At the
moment the drop down menu only says Heading 1 through to
Heading 9 and I want it to display my customized heading.

You can't--at least not automatically. See

If you want to do this manually, you can add a StyleRef field to the figure
number. If you display field codes, you will see that the figure number is
just a SEQ field. If you place a StyleRef field and any desired separating
punctuation before the SEQ field, this should work. I don't guarantee how
well it will work with cross-references, but in my limited testing, the
added field seems to come through okay and survive field updating.
