General ⇒ Trouble with /listoffigures

[localghost]

Since you have not been able to create a minimal working example (MWE), I did so. And so I found out that the harvard package is the cause of the problem.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,fleqn,titlepage,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
%\usepackage{harvard}
\usepackage{blindtext}


\begin{document}
  \bibliographystyle{dcu}
  \pagenumbering{roman}

  \tableofcontents \newpage
  \listoffigures \newpage
  \listoftables \newpage

  \pagenumbering{arabic}

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \rule{12cm}{9cm}
    \caption{\blindtext}\label{fig:testfigure}
  \end{figure}
\end {document}

The original harvard package was not developed for LateX2e, so you have to replace it by the harvard-latex package. But I don't know how to do that since calling the package seems not to have changed. You may find that out by yourself and present the result here.

Regarding the fact that such long captions are unusual, you should think about setting a short caption in the optional argument of the \caption command.

Cheers localghost, that worked
