------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 1 11:04:07 -0700 2005 ------- What I'm looking for is a combination of an tree view outline window and the styles to make a Table of Contents that works well for books. The outline functions seem to work really well if you're making a numbered outline. What I can't seem to find an easy way to do is set up a document and table of contents such that the chapter number and title will show up as I create them or assign such styles to existing text. I've also seen that Mellel on the Mac has an outline tree view that shows me all the ToC entries on the side of the screen and makes navigating to particular parts easy. Word has a similar, though less elegant window. The problem I have trying to do this with OO is that it doesn't take into consideration that a chapter could be called anything other than Chapter One, or that the title of said chapter might be worth including in the TOC information. Also, the dialog for arranging data in the ToC needs some UI improvement, because it's rather obtuse as is. Couldn't it be more like the label making process where you have fields that you align like you want them? If I could link Styles to Fields and Fields to outline levels, that should be enough to arrange a ToC to automatically have everything I need. For a good example of what I'd like to see, I do suggest Mellel as it has the cleanest implementation I've seen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
