Errors with image caption and table captions - jumping from 3 to 5,then from 7 to 9 to 11

[nkalush]

How come my image captions works fine till i get to the fourth image
where the caption states its number 5, when in fact it is number 4.
the same happens with the tables. once I get to table 4, it says its
table 5. then this error continues for some figures and tables, for
example table 7 is captioned as table 8, etc...

Do you have Track Changes turned on? If so, numbering won't be correct until
you accept all the changes. If that's not the problem, perhaps there is a
paragraph somewhere in Caption style that's confusing the issue (though that
should be irrelevant since caption numbering uses SEQ fields). If figures
and captions are wrapped, then order problems often are related to the order
of the paragraphs to which they're anchored, but that would result in
out-of-order captions, not missing ones.
