One problem with indexing in OOo (and in Word) is that the user never knows in
advance whether an entry will have children.
If the user assumes that there will be no children, then they enter (for
example):
file, archiving
Later on, the user wants to enter:
file, restoring
So the user must delete the entry:
file, archiving
and change to:
file
archiving
restoring
The reverse can also happen. In other words, the user may assume that there
would be more children, so they enter:
file
archiving
Later on, they find that in fact there were no more children, so the entry must
be changed to:
file, archiving
I suggest that the user should be able to enter in the "Insert Index Entry"
dialog:
Entry: archiving
1st key: file
Then OOo can make the decision. If there is only one child, the printed entry in
the index becomes:
file, archiving
If there is more than one child, the entry becomes:
file
archiving
restoring
Of course, if "restoring" were later deleted, the entry would revert to:
file, archiving
Over the years, this enhancement would have saved me hours of work in Word.
