If I have a sequence of Table (caption) numbers in MS word:
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3
etc
How can I change to the below?
Table 2.1
Table 2.2
Table 2.3
etc
Note the heading numbering in the document begins with 2, in case this can be referenced.

You need to choose a Multi-Level list that includes the heading styles. Then you can right-click on the number to choose the starting value.
Then right-click on the number and choose:
Then you can add Figure and Table captions:
And proof that it works:

@darthbith Unfortunately the link no longer works – atomh33ls – 2015-04-07T17:19:18.263
For future reference, I googled "Microsoft word captions per chapter": https://cybertext.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/word-change-caption-numbering-from-sequential-to-chapter-numbering/ If you let me know if this helps, I can provide an answer here
– darthbith – 2015-04-07T17:26:15.823@darthbith thanks. Unfortunately I can't get this working, I think because I have a separate doc for each chapter and can't get the heading 1 style to start from 3. – atomh33ls – 2015-04-07T18:03:51.237
You can right click on the chapter number and select "Set Numbering Value", then you can start from arbitrary numbers. Then the chapter numbering should work. – darthbith – 2015-04-07T18:16:20.780
@darthbith thanks. Sadly, that doesn't work, it remains fixed at 1. – atomh33ls – 2015-04-07T18:19:58.597
I don't know why; it works for me :-) – darthbith – 2015-04-07T18:20:16.273
@darthbith me neither :-( perhaps it is some kind of override from the sytle menu. Thanks anyway – atomh33ls – 2015-04-07T18:21:42.720
What, what remains fixed at 1? The caption? You may need to update your captions... type CTRL+A, then F9 – darthbith – 2015-04-07T18:22:58.513
@darthbith No, the chapter heading .... see this new question
– atomh33ls – 2015-04-07T18:24:42.500I answered that question with screenshots... actually, I think I answered this question too :-) – darthbith – 2015-04-07T18:45:04.967
@darthbith You did answer this question! Post it here and I'll accept it :-) – atomh33ls – 2015-04-08T09:59:16.587
OK I'll delete my other answer then, to avoid the double post – darthbith – 2015-04-08T10:02:24.687
