How to create different numbering style for figures and tables in Appendix in MS Word-2003?

Dear Friends and Office experts,

I am trying to use different numbering styles for Chapters and Appendices in my MS Word (2003) documents.

According to MS Word KB article, How to insert chapters and numbers...., I could add new list style for Appendices and also include those correctly in my Table of Contents.

I've figures, charts and tables in my Chapters and Appendices. I want to distinguish them by using Chapter numbers. Since, above MS KB article don't provide notes on figures/tables numbering, I applied the tips provided by How to number headings and figures in Appendixes in Microsoft Word.

Though, new label style appeared in the Figure/Table captions, I realised that whenever select a particular style in drop down box named "Chapter starts with style" to either Heading-1 or Heading-6 (for Appendix), numberings for all the figures/tables got flipped to this style - irrespective of whether it is in chapter or Appendix. I tried this in a document and can share this sample document to know more about my issue.

Is there something that I missing here when creating a new label for figure in Appendix?

How can we achieve this correctly? Please guide.

Thanks for your time and help.

Best Regards.
