I have an overfull \hbox
in my list of figures, not because of long captions/page number over run, which is addressed in other postings(addressed in Fix formatting errors of page number > 99 in table of contents? and Figure title in List of Figures, but because the figure number (left hand side of the listing) is too long. Below is a few lines from the .lof
file. It is only the last three figures that generate an error. Figures 4.6.8 and 4.6.9 generate no overfull box but 4.6.10,4.6.11,4.6.12 all do.
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {4.6.8}{\ignorespaces Repeat: Model \& Data: Detail}}{164}{figure.4.6.8}
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {4.6.9}{\ignorespaces High School GPA: Model \& Data}}{165}{figure.4.6.9}
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {4.6.10}{\ignorespaces Math SAT Score: Model \& Data}}{166}{figure.4.6.10}
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {4.6.11}{\ignorespaces Timing: Model \& Data}}{167}{figure.4.6.11}
\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {4.6.12}{\ignorespaces sequencing of Physics 7A Effect by Course}}{168}{figure.4.6.12}
