Default Formatting of TOC's generated based on the "Caption" style

I am not able to format TO-Figures or TO-Tables in the way I would like to.
I think the root of the problem is that the Insert/Caption is formatted like, "Figure #:<<space>>" rather than "Figure #:<<tab>>"

The Figure/Table Captions in my document are generated based on the "Caption" style. I have been able to get the TOC styling options I want only when I deviated from "Caption" with a custom style and apply Numbering to keep track of the figure numbers. However, I don't want to use a custom style because that causes the Figures to be listed as "Numbered Items" in Insert -> Cross Reference rather than as "Figures". (Also, I expect doing things in any "non-standard" way will ultimately cause problems down the road. I want the solution to the formatting issue to be invisible to the eventual users of this template.)

Attached is a picture that hopefully illustrates why I even care about this. Basically I want to make my Table of Figures look a little nicer.

Default Custom captions

I have played around with this for a half hour or so. I not sure how invisible you can get. You can certainly modify the default Caption style as you wish. However, it appears that Word will copy only some tabs when it goes to generating the TOF. Thus, even setting tabs in the modified caption style, and in the modifications in the TOF dialogue, seems an uncertain business.

Wish I could be of more help.

Best,
Ulo
