Now I'm back to these issues:

Package scrlayer-scrpage Info: auto-selection of `pagestyleset=KOMA-Script'.
! Undefined control sequence.
 \undefinedpagestyle

l.24 \pagestyle{default}

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

! Undefined control sequence.
l.25 \headsepline
 =on

This exsurpt starts on line 189 of the attached error file.

Perhaps I misread the KOMA-Script manual, but it advises against using
empty, plain, header, and fancy page styles so only default is left.

And, \headsepline is supposed to work with scrlayer-scrpage.

Ricardo,

I had the cursor at the head of the title; the Users Guide said to put it at
the end of the title. Neither position showed it in the Insert menu.

Alt-a moves the cursor to the head of the line; 1 inserts a 1 there.

Short titles

I used to find an entry in the Insert menu for short titles. It's not there

Looking in the Users Guide I see that it should be there.

Has anyone a thought why it's not being presented?

1. Do *not* use \raggedright in the document body (before the index)

2. Do *not* use the flushend package for column flushing

3. Rather than that, uncomment the idxlayout package (which cares for
vertical flushing by default) and add the following package option to
get left alignment: justific=raggedleft

I.e.:

\usepackage[indentunit=1em,hangindent=1em,
subsubindent=2em,
justific=raggedright]{idxlayout}

HTH,

Thx a lot, that's great! Your advice was exactly what helped! Thank you so much!

Indeed it is very easy to write poorly looking documents in (Word and)
LibreOffice.

LaTeX enforces a lot of things, and this one of the reasons why you
really have to try hard to write poorly looking documents, though I
have seen many determined attempts at doing so over the years, some of
them successful.

The answer I ALWAYS get from Word/LO users is: Styles? What are Styles?

Vertically flush closure of the index

[Andreas Plihal]

Hi,

 

my (two-column) index should be formatted in justification (is that the correct word?), which sometimes creates ugly large gaps in the text when the line breaks. I figured I could work around this problem by left-justifying the entire index. To do this, I added the command 

 

\raggedright 

 

immediately before it. That works too. 

 

But unfortunately the two-column index on the last page no longer ends vertically flush. How can I get a concise deal?

 

Greetings

Andreas
