Hi,



I am using a table of figures entry, but I am not satisfied with the formatting. Some of the entries are too long for one line and have therefore been extended to the second (see example). This is fine, however I would like to have the second line start at the same horizontal position as the first line does (see example).

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

That is seriously annoying isn't it. My workaround, is

1. Edit the caption style to add a tab to representing the distance of approximately 2 or 3 spaces after the :
2. Edit the Table of Figures style to add a hanging indent and a right indent
3. At caption insertion time insert the tab

The down side is I don't get a uniform space in the captions between the : and the text, and if there are more than 100 captions the gap gets too wide and forces direct tab over the still. Still, I prefer that rather than having to reformat the TOF every time updated.

If anyone has a more foolproof workaround, I would be very interested to hear it.

Hope this helps.
