Page Layout ⇒ Caption text in List of Figures not aligned

[waschbaer]

Hi@all

I am having problems in keeping the caption text aligned in my LoF and LoT. Sometimes the text exceeds the margin compared to other entries. Please have a look at the attachment. As you can see the last entry (...GNIP) exceeds the margin of the previous entries on the right.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Martin

I suggest to shorten the caption by using the optional argument for the \caption command. Not all information for a figure (or a table) need to appear in the LoF (or the LoT). Another approach would be to alter the page layout by the geometry package.

I was going to shorten the captions for the LoT and LoF anyway but even with shorter text there are some problems with the alignment. Have a look at the example in this attachment. The first entry is a short caption. However, the alignment on the right does not coincide with the other entries. Is that a general problem of the book.cls style?

What about my other suggestion regarding page geometry?

I didn't want to play with the page settings that much as I am using a special cls file from my uni. I thought that this behaviour should not happen in LaTex in the first place as it is a typesetting program that should handle those things easily.
