Wow, thanks very much! That certainly make things a lot cleaner...

I'm still working through exactly what you did in that last chunk of code so
I just followed your instructions on implementation.  It works quite well
except for the fact that, in the header, both the first and second figure
are labeled as Figure 1.2 despite the first figure being 1.1 in the caption.
Similarly the first and second table (second chapter) are labeled Table 2.2
(the third table is correctly labeled as 2.3) despite correct numbering in
the captions.  Seems like an off by one error somewhere but I can't find it?

Thanks very much Piet for all your help!
