I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but this was the only one I
could come up with. What you have to do is find the style file for the
documentclass you are using. That's either a .sty or .cls file in your
texmf directory, usually texmf/tex/latex/base/*.cls. Then within that
file search for a line like this:
"\addcontentsline{toc} {part}"
Copy the section starting with \def that includes that line and paste it
in your document's preamble. What you want to do is add "\partname~"
right before "\thepart" The following is an example of what's in my
preamble for a koma-script document:
-------------------------
\def\@part[#1]#2{%
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >-2\relax
\refstepcounter{part}\@maybeasf%
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\protect\numberline{\partname~\thepart}#1}%
\else
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}%
\fi
\chaptermark{}
{\centering
\interlinepenalty \@M
\normalfont
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >-2\relax
\size@partnumber\sectfont\partformat
\par
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\size@part\sectfont #2\par}%
\@endpart}
-------------------------
You will also need to copy another portion of the definition to your
preamble so the "Part I." and the title for that part don't overlap.
After modifying a few things, this is what I came up with. The change
was made in the "\setlength\@tempdima{5em}", it used to be 2.25em.
-------------------------
\renewcommand*\l@part[2]{%
\ifnum \c@tocdepth >-2\relax
\addpenalty{-\@highpenalty}%
\addvspace{2.25em \@plus\p@}%
\setlength\@tempdima{5em}% <------ Change here
\begingroup
\parindent \z@ \rightskip \@pnumwidth
\parfillskip -\@pnumwidth
\leavevmode\sectfont\large
\advance\leftskip\@tempdima
\hskip -\leftskip
#1\nobreak\
\leaders\hbox{$\m@th
\mkern \@dotsep mu\hbox{.}\mkern \@dotsep
mu$}\hfil\nobreak\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth{\hss #2}\par
\penalty\@highpenalty
\endgroup
\fi}
-------------------------
Well, I hope that helps. The solution is ugly, but it's the only one
this newbie could come up with.
If any of you LaTeXperts read this and know of a shorter, more elegant
way to do this, please let me know.
