Text Formatting ⇒ Annex Interferences in Figure Captions

[aharon79]

Hi all,

I'm writing my thesis using Latex, I found a strange problem. If I dont use any Annex, everything works fine, that is, captions and headings are like "Figure x.y:" and "heading x.y.z". The problem arises when I use:

\begin{appendix}
\chapter{test}
bla bla bla
\end{appendix}

In this case, the annex heading is "Annex A.", and all the caption figures and all the headings of the document change to "Figure x.y.:" and "heading x.y.z.". I dont understand why a "." is being added at the end of each caption/heading. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!,
Aharon
