Hi Dave, meanwhile I have studied the problem a bit deeper and found out that update of the table of contents updates the references too.
I've also tested the script - it does not change page numbering (in fact it cannot do that, it does not enter such tags). Normally, when removing a large piece of text, the references are updated, so I cannot imagine a situation when the numbering can be corrupted. Maybe a bug somewhere. I use Ubuntu and the LO version was probably 4.2.6. I've updated to 4.2.7 a week ago. Unfortunately, some days ago I deleted the directories with the old and manually processed WG42 files, so I do not know when this happened. Don't you happen to have the version from October 3-rd? I would like to understand the problem and eventually to file a bug. best Milos On 2014-10-23 12:17, Dave Barton wrote: > Hi Milos, > > Don't be too quick to blame your script, it might not be the cause of > the issue I have encountered.
