Figure 1.1: change to Figure 1.1.
Hi Lisa,
welcome to the board!
A solution depends on the document class you are using. Which one do you use?
I recommend to use the caption package, it provides a lot of features to customize captions and is very well documented, see its documentation, also for setting the dot.

Please be more precise and tell us the exact error message. Concerning the packages you are loading and other relevant things you should take a look at l2tabu to avoid the biggest sins.lisa wrote:when i run it to transfer it to a PDF it says i need to install a new item but it does not allow me to enter the name of this user package [...]
