Lines don't wrap in my list of tables

Question

On my "List of Tables" page, the descriptions of tables don't wrap. Instead, the text proceeds on the same line all the way to the far-right margin of the page (past the point where the page number of tables is usually set), where it is truncated.

This has worked very well on another report, but something in my styling is different here. I would rather not attempt to create shortened descriptions for the list of tables; this is a fragile solution, broken by any number of general formatting adjustments.

I am using the ociamthesis style file, and invoking a list of tables with:

\documentclass[a4paper,titlepage]{ociamthesis}

...

\begin{document}

...

\begin{romanpages}
\tableofcontents
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\end{romanpages}

What can I change to encourage correct wrapping of the table descriptions?

Answer 1

Your example has not enough information to give a clear answer. Presumably you are loading the hyperref package in the preamble of your document. If you really do so, add breaklinks to its option list. As you already mentioned, the linktocpage option would be an alternative.
