Hi!
I tried to put automatic number for my differents figures. And now I just copy paste...but when I arrived at Figure 6., the text goes in the center...How come its not like the others?

Thanks!!

The problem is related to the positon of the tab stop in your Légende paragraph style. Moving it far enough out to accomodate the widest figure numbers fixes it.

It looks like your text is set to Centered. On figures 4 and 5, the text frame is short, so you are not seeing the centering, but on the longer frame, its effect is clear.

In that case, can you share the file with dropbox? (or some other file-sharing service)? 

What I can tell from your screenshot is exactly what I got from a tab and centered text. If that is not it, I would have to look at the file itself to see what is going on.
