Hi,

the title of my figures is not aligned in Table of
figure, all the figures from 1 to 9 are aligned in a
different manner than figures from 10 to 99 (as shown
below). Can someone help me to correct this issue... The
titles used to be well aligned no matter what number the
figure has, but I modified the style of the TOC2 and I
might have change something without noticing it... (it is
driving me crazy...)

Figure 1 (tab) Title 1
....
Figure 9 (tab) Title 9
Figure 10 (tab) Title 10
....
Figure 18 (tab) Title 18

Thanks for your time and help.

Eric,

Hi,

I modified the style of the table of figures by adding a
hanging of 2cm and all my titles are now aligned. The
problem is I don't understand why this fixed my
problem.... I thought that the hanging was only for the
second line... In my case I have the figure number
followed by a TAB and then the figure description.. Is
the TAB considered as an ENTER?

The first tab stop (automatic) is at the hanging indent location. If it is
set too far to the left, double digits will overrun that location and go to
the next built-in tab stop. By increasing the hanging indent, you allow
enough space to clear double-digit numbers.
