This is my first time working in LaTeX; I am working on my dissertation and I need to rename Tables so that they are numbered as Table 1, Table 2 etc. rather than include the Chapter number in them so as to show up as Table 2.1 for Chapter 2 Table 1.
Additionally, I still want them to show up in the List of Tables so that the List of Table is as follows:
List of Tables
Table Page
<Chapter Title>
# <Table Caption> #
# <Table Caption> #
# <Table Caption> #
<Chapter Title>
# <Table Caption> #
# <Table Caption> #
# <Table Caption> #
How do I do this?
