Page Layout ⇒ Margin and Line Breaks for LoT and LoF

[foist]

I have three minor changes needed to be made to my LoT and LoF which I can't seem to figure out how to implement.

First, I need the top margins of only the LoT and LoF to be 1". The other chapter titles should be 2", including the ToC. I saw a post on margins, but I can't seem to make it work for my situation: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... f=5&t=1533

Second, is there a way to impose a line break around 3/4 of the page wide for long captions in the LoT and LoF? I would like to avoid using short captions.

Third, is there a way to alter the spacing of these captions in the LoT and LoF? Specifically, when there is a line break for captions, the spacing between the two lines for the one caption should be single spaced, and the spacing between two different captions should be double spaced.

Here's some code that should compile to work with:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{report}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{tocloft} %change table of contents

\renewcommand{\cftbeforesecskip}{0em}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{TABLE OF CONTENTS}
\renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\hfill\normalsize\textbf}
\renewcommand{\cftaftertoctitle}{\hfill}

\renewcommand{\listfigurename}{\normalsize\textbf{LIST OF FIGURES}}
\renewcommand{\cftloftitlefont}{\hfill\normalsize\textbf}
\renewcommand{\cftafterloftitle}{\hfill}

\renewcommand{\listtablename}{\normalsize\textbf{LIST OF TABLES}}
\renewcommand{\cftlottitlefont}{\hfill\normalsize\textbf}
\renewcommand{\cftafterlottitle}{\hfill}

\renewcommand{\cftchapfont}{\normalfont} %chapters are not bolded
\renewcommand{\cftchapdotsep}{\cftdotsep} %chapters with dots to pg. number

\cftpagenumbersoff{part}


\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents
  \cleardoublepage
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\normalfont LIST OF TABLES}
  \listoftables
  \addcontentsline{lot}{part}{\normalsize\normalfont{Table}}
  \cleardoublepage \newpage
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\normalfont LIST OF FIGURES}
  \listoffigures
  \addcontentsline{lof}{part}{\normalsize\normalfont{Figure}}
  \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\normalsize\normalfont{Chapter}}
  \clearpage\newpage

A pdf of how the LoT and LoF should look like is here: http://gradschool.unc.edu/etdguide/pdf/listoftables.pdf
Any help would be much appreciated!

Perhaps I was too anxious in looking for a solution when I posted. After some sleuthing, here are solutions to my formatting issues.

1. To decrease the top margins for LoT and LoF, I used the tocloft package and these lines in the preamble

   Code: Select all

   \setlength{\cftbeforelottitleskip}{-.3in} %move LoT up 1"
   \setlength{\cftbeforeloftitleskip}{-.3in} %move LoF up 1"

2. To impose a line break around 3/4 of the page wide for long captions in the LoT and LoF I used this line

   Code: Select all

   \cftsetrmarg{2.05in} 

3. Finally, to alter spacing, I used

   Code: Select all

   \tableofcontents
   \cleardoublepage
   \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\normalfont LIST OF TABLES}
   \listoftables
   \addcontentsline{lot}{part}{\normalsize\normalfont{Table}}
   \cleardoublepage \newpage
   \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\normalfont LIST OF FIGURES}
   \listoffigures
   \addcontentsline{lof}{part}{\normalsize\normalfont{Figure}}
   \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\normalsize\normalfont{Chapter}}
   \clearpage\newpage

   and in the preamble

   Code: Select all

   \setlength{\cftbeforesecskip}{12pt}
   \setlength{\cftparskip}{12pt}

Hope this can help someone besides me.
