Page Layout ⇒ LOF and LOT indent

[tipoftheday]

Hi,

I would like to decrease the horizontal indent to zero on my LOT and LOF. (i.e. I want the items to appear flush with the left margin) I previously looked through the forum and found somebody asking a similar question but now I can't find it again! Regardless, the question was answered by pointing the user to the tocloft package. I have read the documentation and tried to implement it on some simple code as follows...

I am less than sure that \l@kind is the correct term and I know that it is incorrectly specified because I get an error message on typesetting.

Can anyone help with this please?

I'm using an altered .cls file for my thesis that also has no indent in the LOT. I have altered your code so that there is now no indent.

The 0.0em is the indent, and 2.3em the gap between number and LOT caption. I don't understand the rest enough to try and explain.
