Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables Positions

Question

How do you move the beginning of the table of contents, list of figures, and list of tables further up the page? The default is to start those sections above a third of the way down the page.

Answer 1

Using the tocloft package (of course, instead of -2cm you can use the length that best suits your needs):

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand\cftbeforetoctitleskip{-2cm}
\renewcommand\cftbeforeloftitleskip{-2cm}
\renewcommand\cftbeforelottitleskip{-2cm}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\listoftables

\end{document}
