Have you tried something like \renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{table}} in the preamble?
Axel, No, I haven't. This command appears to change the type of table numbering from roman to arabic, but that's not the issue. When parts of a report are declared with asterisks so they are not numbered automatic numbering of tables and figures seem to start their sequence with zero; e.g., 0.1, rather than with 1. However, I'll give the renewcommand a try. Rich
