Microsoft Word 2003 Issue – AutoNumLgl With Trailing Period – Dot

I am having this problem with Microsoft Word on numbering. In my thesis, I used AutoNumLgl command to number the equations. However, when I shifted to another laptop, those numbering gave some kind of an issue, that is with trailing periods, or rather dots (.) showing up after the numbers.

Apparently, I do not need those dots, and according to the references and advices obtained from the web, it stated that by adding a “\e” switch to the command {AUTONUMLGL} will help remove the dots. Unfortunately, it is not so in my case.

I am seriously appealing out to all those who are experts in this area to help me figure out how to modify the registry of the Windows system, or the registry of the Microsoft Office to have that dot removed. It’s extremely annoying.

By right, the equation should look like this as shown below.

— (52)

However, it looks something like this now,

— (52.)

It makes the thesis awfully terrible.
