However, I see only the PDF there, not the ODT. You did make an ODT as well, didn't you? Did you discover any problems with the cross-references after the book was compiled? We have serious problems with incorrect x-refs in some books but not in others. Next priority is reviewing the Impress Guide. We need as many people working on that as possible. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi Jean Ok will try again tonight. Will look at the manually remove the contents and copyright pages manually and look at how to add the fields back in the odm if they are missing. Are there instructions on how to do this in the writer guide? I looked at the links the previous time I compiled this and they seemed to work.

Will try again, if this does not work will edit the links manually in the odt file. Regards John There are instructions in the Writer Guide about the field and the hidden sections, but you also need to know the contents of the field and the condition statement. This is written up somewhere, but offhand I can't remember where. In the book template, perhaps. Anyway, I'll add it here: The copyright and TOC pages are in sections controlled by a condition statement MD!=0 that picks up from the first paragraph in the ODM an invisible field named MD which is set to 1. This causes the section to be hidden. Sometimes it fails, for no reason I can see. First thing to check: go into Tools Options LibreOffice Writer Formatting Aids and make sure Hidden text, Fields: Hidden text and Fields: Hidden paragraphs are all UNticked. I can't recall if there are any other options like that lurking somewhere. BTW, I just opened the orginal ODM and updated all links, and the copyright and TOC pages are hidden as they should be. The incorrect x-refs are scattered through the book; most x-refs are correct, but some are not. It's a thorough pain to find and fix the incorrect ones. I normally do this in the full-book ODT after unlinking (embedding) all the chapter files, because I've found that fixing them in the individual chapter files and then recompiling the book often doesn't work -- some of the wretched x-refs go wrong again. I think a bug may have been filed at OOo about this, but it's hard to reproduce reliably, especially in a smallish sample file. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
