Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ caption, list of figures

[sheenshahid]

I am writing my thesis in LaTex and the thesis formatting requires the word "Figure" to be present and bold in each line and left justified caption means caption should be aligned in next line

i.e.
Figure 2.1: Test Problem 1 Test Problem 1 Test Problem 1
Test Problem 1 ...................................... 34
Figure 2.2: Test Problem 2 Test Problem 1 Test Problem 2
Test Problem 2 ...................................... 34
Currently, I have
2.1 Test Problem 1 Test Problem 1 Test Problem 1
Test Problem 1 ...................................... 34
2.2 Test Problem 2 Test Problem 1 Test Problem 2
Test Problem 1 ...................................... 34

May i require to change the caption in each figure for the alignment or it can be settled in the list of figures ?

Please provide a minimal working example. If you use a standard class, you can use the tocloft package to add and format the prefix in the list of figures.

Any one here to solve my problem

Maybe that helps:
