Hello Regina With my work for LO user guides, I simply update the ToC after making changes and I had never created from a ToC from scratch. I wanted to create a ToC for a small document for myself and this is where the confusion started.
The process for creating ToC is not very clear and, in my opinion, does not follow the practice used in several office software packages., that is simply selecting the headings to be included in the ToC. In Version 4.4 of LO you cannot do this. When you go to Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables to open the Insert Index/Table dialog, you will logically click on the tab for Styles so you can select styles for inclusion in a ToC. For example, select Level 1 then select Heading 1 style and you cannot move the Heading 1 style into Level 1 for a ToC. This is the way I have created a ToC using other office software. It appears you can select Heading 1 style and so on by selecting Additional Styles on the Index/Table page. However, I am not sure that this works 100%. Alternatively, you go to Tools > Outline Numbering and use this dialog to assign your styles to the appropriate level and position in a ToC (this info is in Writer Help and not easy to find). Both of these methods is, in my opinion, an unnecessary step when creating a ToC. I think the Writer software should be modified so that you simply select the styles you want to use on the Styles page in Insert Index/Table dialog. If you can pass this thought onto the development team, I would appreciate it.
