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:

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:

List of Figures

[I]Figure 1:[/I]    Caption of figure 1.  ...... 1
[I]Figure 2:[/I]    Caption of figure 2.  ...... 2

thank you

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