Dear all,
I am trying to add the word chapter to the start of a new chapter entry in my thesis TOC. Here is the relevant code that I was able to dig from the report.cls file.

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}%
   {\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}%

Now when I try and add word chapter before #1, it over writes on top of the chapter number!

Any idea how to resolve this?
