LaTeX: Formatting List of Figures to say 'Figure 1'

Saladsamurai

Hello all

I am hoping someone can help with this:

When I use the \listoffigures command in LaTeX, it shows up as follows:

Code:

List of Figures

1    Caption of figure 1.  .......................... 1
2    Caption of figure 2.  .......................... 2

But I wanted to actually say Figure 1, Figure 2, ... like this:

Code:

List of Figures

Figure 1:    Caption of figure 1.  .......................... 1
Figure 2:    Caption of figure 2.  .......................... 2

thank you

Dr Transport

go into the style file and add "Figure" to the counter for the list of figures command
