I am compliling the table of Figures for my thesis. MSWord manual suggests
my figure captions should be preceded by a level 9 table-of-contents entry.
When I compile TOC I simply ask for only level 9 to be shown. It worked!

Yesterday I decided that I would like to change the captions to read
 Figure 2.1:   Stucture of the widget
The change: before I had a full stop after the fig number, now I have a colon.

Now, all I get in the TOC is ''Figure 2.1``  ie no words after the colon.
Is this a bug or a feature??  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong/how
to get around it?

Cheers
