SEQ field and grouped textboxes not working right.

I'm editing a document with quite a few embedded images and captions in Word
2003. For ease of use, I've been grouping the floating images and the
captions so they don't get separated as text gets added. However, when I
group two different images and the associated captions, the SEQ field in the
caption starts acting wonky. It'll number them properly throughout the
document, but the two text boxes that contain the SEQ fields will have the
same value for them.

For example:

Group: Image 1 & Caption 1. SEQ displays 1.
Group: Image 2 & Caption 2. SEQ displays 2.
Group: Image 3, Image 4, Caption 3 & Caption 4. SEQ for both captions
displays 4.
Group: Image 5, Image 6, Image 7, Caption 5, Caption 6 & Caption 7. SEQ for
all captions displays 7.
Group: Image 8 & Caption 8. SEQ displays 8.

Is there a way around whatever is causing this issue?
