Numbering in Appendix

[Hernan Urcola]

Hi all,

In my dissertation I have an appendix (Appendix A) with a couple of
tables, I need the tables in the appendix to be numbered Table A.1,
Table A.2, Table A. 3, etc.

But when I use the \appendix command, the tables are numbered following
the numbering for the tables in the rest of the chapter without the
appendix letter "A" (like, Table 1, Table 2, etc). Anyone knows how to
get latex to number tables in the appendix as Table A.1,.......,etc

thanks a lot,

Hernan

As you don't provide much information I assume you have a document
like this:
-->

\begin{document}
\appendix
\chapter{Strains}
\begin{table}
\caption{Origin of test strains}
\label{tab:OriginStrains}
\begin{tabular}{l}
bla\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

-->

This produces
A Strains
Table A.1.: Origin of test strains

If your file looks like this, maybe you should check which document
class you are using:

\documentclass[a4paper] {scrbook}

works fine for me. Other classe may handle table numbering
differently, for example
scrartcl (and i think article as well) just number tables as "1,
2,3,4".

Scrrprt oder report numbers tables and figures As "1.2,1.2, ...,A.1".

If this does not help you, check the documentation for the style you
are using.
