How to add image numbers in Google Docs

Question

I have a document in Google Docs which has a lot of images numbered sequentially. Every time I add a new image in the middle of the document I have to renumber all the image numbers along the document along with its references. How could I renumber the following images automatically, like we can do in LibreOffice using variables?

Answer 1

so far it is not possible. You could take a look at Google Apps Scripts to create a macro that does that: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/

I've just finished creating a Google Docs Add-on (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3641454?hl=en) that can number images and tables. It is going through the process of certification by Google and I hope to publish it soon :)
