- It is the second time for the last month I saw this question? May be it
- should be included to FAQ?
-
- The solution is to modify the lines
-
- \def\l@table\l@figure
- \def\l@figure{\dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}
-
- You may add
-
- \makeatletter
- \def\l@table\l@figure
- \def\l@figure{\dottedtocline{1}{2.5em}{2.3em}}
- \makeatother
-
- at the begining of your file.

- Comment:
- It looks very strange that being so adjustable, LaTeX has these parameters
- as exact numbers instead of being definitions. You should delve in to find
- what to do.
