I discovered that including a right indent cleared up my period leader
problem. Thank you, MVP website. However, I am still interested in if
there is a way to control what text gets included in the table of figures.

Howdy Folks,

I am working with a document that has many figures in it. I dutifully
insert captions for each figure so that I can easily generate a table of
figures. However. In many cases, my caption is almost the full length of
a line. This makes for a rather ugly table of figures. There arre very
few if any periods leading to the page number.

Is there a way that I can manually abbreviate the text I would like to
see in the table of figures?

Is "caption" the style I should use if I want to include descriptive
text about a figure in addition to the figure number and title?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sincerely,

Thomas Campitelli
