Hi Luc,

I tried to reproduce your problem (language was set to Dutch):
1. created a Writer doc in 5.4.7.2, added one image, set caption (only relevant
choice was "afbeelding"); saved it
2. opened in 7.0.4.2, added a second image, set caption with choice
"afbeelding" (I think this was proposed, but I am not sure now); saved the file
. added a third image,set caption with choice "illustratie".

My results:
1. "1. Afbeelding: ..."
2. "Afbeelding 1: ..."
3. "Illustratie 2: ..."

You can see the results in the file Example Dutch.odt" I will add after I have
sent this reply.

Now my result is not the same as you describe, but it also doesn't seem to be
correct: The numbering that was started with afbeelding is continued when using
illustratie, but not for afbeelding.

I did the first two steps with language "German" as well, there I got a
different result: The numbering was continued when using Abbildung. The fact
that it was "1. Abbildung" created by 5.4.7.2 and "Abbildung 2" created by
7.0.4.2, which first irritated me, doesn't seem to matter.

I can offer a hypothesis for the behaviour in my test: the problem arose when
the second category for images was introduced, which roused the difficulty for
two translations, which got intermingled in German, when I reported the bug. I
think the behaviour in the dutch test can be explained thus: the old category
"illustration" was translated to dutch "afbeelding" (as it was to "Abbildung"
in German) in 5.4.7.2. In 7.0.4.2 "illustration" is translated by "illustratie"
and the other category, "figure", is translated by "afbeelding".
This, quite naturally, must be checked by one who knows where to find the
translations.

As regards your report: Please check again, if the behaviour is really
different in your case. If so, I fear I can offer no further advice, but it
might be useful to supply your file here as an attachment, if that is possible,
because, as you have seen, we cannot (or don't know how) create a test case
with the same behaviour. If the content of your file is private, the you might
perhaps send a copy directly to a developper, if asked for.
