A LaTeX question -- Hope people won't mind

Hello All,
Hope people won't mind my posting a LaTeX question here. I know a lot of people who use R are also using LaTeX. I'm in a bit of a rush to complete a document and am having trouble with one aspect of the formatting.
I'm creating a list of tables using:
\listoftables
I also have some table captions that contain the number of patients in an anlysis like:
\caption{Results for Random Forest Model Using Scoring Data (N = 700)}
The tables look great. Trouble is that LaTeX inserts the "(N = 700)" into the text in the List of Tables at the beginning of the document. I'd prefer that it not do so.
Is there some simple way to fix this?
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Paul, See this page: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floats,_Figures_and_Captions#Lists_of_figures_and_tables The \caption command has primarily two arguments: \caption[short text]{long text} Note that the first part, within the square brackets, will be the text included in the list of tables. So in your example above: \caption[Results for Random Forest Model Using Scoring Data] {Results for Random Forest Model Using Scoring Data (N = 700)} Regards, Marc Schwartz
