General ⇒ need help with referencing figures in appendices

[ganda97]

I'm writing my dissertation and need help with appendices. My knowledge of Latex is very limited.

When I reference a figure, equation or a table in my appendices, I get an extra space (i.e. A .1 or B .4). For my regular chapters,
it looks like this: 1.2 , 5.4. Where is the extra space coming from? This extra space shows up when I reference the figure, on the caption, and in the TOC.


This is what I'm using on my main tex file:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,amsfonts,amscd} % Some packages to write mathematics.
\usepackage{eucal} % Euler fonts
\usepackage{verbatim} % Allows quoting source with commands.
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{hhline}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[square]{natbib}


\begin{document}

\include{chap1}

\appendix
\include{appendix1}
\end{document}



Thanks for looking and any help you may provide,

Ariel

There is nothing in the preamble of your tex file that justifies the extra space you report. The problem should be hidden somewhere in the code not shown. So, to be able to help you, you should try to build and provide a minimal working example.

Anyway, it seems that the problem concerns the definition of the \thechapter command, which prints the value of the chapter number, once the \appendix command has been processed. As a workaround, try to put after \appendix the following code:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alph{chapter}}
