Lines wrapping properly in List of Figures

We are generating a book with over 50 chapters, each of which has a number 
of figures. So far, we have decided that the product name and the screen 
name should be included in the figure caption, so several of them are 
quite long. I'm using Frame 7.0 on Windows XP.

I have been able to format the LOF so that if the caption text is too long 
for the line, it wraps and a tab places the page number at the far right 
margin of the 2nd line. The only time this doesn't happen is when the 
caption text is just long enough to fit on one line, not long enough to 
wrap, but long enough to force the page number to the next line. When that 
happens, the caption text is on one line and the page number on another, 
but the number is at the left margin, not the right.

I have tried adjusting tabs, inserting nonbreaking spaces at the end of 
the problem captions,and playing with letter spacing,  with no luck. I 
have two tabs for this paragraph, one between the figure number and the 
caption text, and one between the caption text and the page number.

I need to have the number on the right margin, even if the text is just 
long enough to fit on the line and only the number gets pushed to the next 
line.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this happen? So far, only 
manual intervention to force a tab on the second line has worked, but we 
have a lot of figures so this is not the preferred solution.

Thanks in advance!
