Hi Thomas, Heading 1 + Heading 2 properly set, as far as I can tell. Tools -> Heading numbering set properly (I hope). Still, inserting a TOC that is supposed to show Heading 1 + 2 includes EVERY paragraph of the entire document. Set some paragraphs to "Heading1" and "Heading2". Other paragraphs are "TextBody". Set numbering for the headings as decribed above. Created a TOC. Couldn't see any other content than Heading1 and Heading2 in Toc. I don't know what is gowing wrong with your document.

[libreoffice-users] Table of contents problem
Good evening I am clutching a printed section of the Writer manual dealing the TOC ... but cannot make it work. Searching the net, I did find a LOT of things, but the instructions there "... click xx and there you go" do not seem to work either. Windows 10, LibreOffice 7.6.6.3 200-page document with heading 1 and heading 2 sections supposed to be entered automatically into the TOC. I once HAD it, but removed it, because submitting the file to an ePub publisher should not have a TOC (that's what their manual said). Now I am preparing a print version and would like to have it back. Previously it was a 1.5-page long TOC consisting of said headings. Now the same TOC is 16 (!) pages long with giant spaces between the items AND each item is listed twice. I have been struggling with this for hours on end, but so far nothing I tried improved things. If there is a trick to do this, please let me know.

[libreoffice-users] Table Of Contents
Hi, I'm in the manual (Yes, I've read it) at "Creating a Table of Contents". Based on the first paragraph it looks like the default is to key off a heading. Makes sense. I did create my own heading style based on Heading 1. This is what I'm using for chapter numbering. I made a few changes, font is TNR, there's space above and below the chapter number so the first line of text is half way down the page, the chapter number is centered. Each chapter is its own file. The whole has to be combined into a Master document. When I put the cursor wherever I want the ToC in the Master document and insert it there, the only thing I get is the text "Table Of Contents". No chapter numbers, no page numbers, no nothing, just Table Of Contents. Clearly I'm doing some wrong here. No idea what. HELP.

[libreoffice-users] Table of Contents - hidden codes?
Good evening I did write a few books that are now available as Kindle versions. Trying to publish them elsewhere too (Smashwords) I had to reformat (I will spare you the details here) everything. I tried to do that following the instructions word by word (to the best of my knowledge) and submitted the file. That site then converts the file using the so-called meatgrinder to a number of formats. Problem I am told, that the conversion to epub did not work and there are problems with the TOC. Placed manually bookmarks in the text, entered plain text for the TOC, then inserted manually one hyperlink for each bookmark. That is how I am supposed to do it. Now, the TOC looks fine to me, all items are hyperlinks, all are working; both in LO and after saving that file as a Word file. Nevertheless the TOC in the epub version shows only the first 4 items. All the rest has disappeared. My screen DOES NOT show any anomaly I can see. Question: IS there some formatting information HIDDEN somewhere in the file? How can I find and display that? (Ctrl-F10 display hidden characters is ON) Clearly there MUST be something, since one line of the TOC is working just fine, but the next (and everything below it) is not. I would greatly appreciate any hints. Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents woes
Hi :) Have you been able to manually edit it? It does look as though something is very wrong. It looks like 2 styles have been applied to each heading. First as a sub-heading and then as a main heading. Sometimes the fastest way to fix something is an inelegant approach such as mine rather than trouble-shooting down to the exact cause. If it was all the sub-headings that you wanted to get rid of then it's fairly easy to set the ToC to only show main headings but that would not help this case.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents woes
Thanks, Tom. It does seem like there's more than one style applied, but I don't know how to check that. Is there a way to display hidden characters (would that show styles?) or other way I could see what's going on? The napalm approach would be to remove all styles for the document and then re-apply them. Maybe I'll try that on a portion of a copy. Does anyone know what the Heading 1a style is for? Is it possible I created it a year ago when I started this document? I don't recall doing that. I'll take a look at the styles section of the manual as it's about time I really learned how to use them. A PITA to learn but I can see it's the best way to go. Here's a little more info: Heading 1a is level 1 in this documnt (not indented even thought this section header IS in fact indented) Heading 1a is linked with Contents 2 (which is supposed to be level 2 I think) So two questions. First, could this be part of the trouble? Second, I was considering upgrading to LO 4, and in case my styles got scrogged, is there a way to upgrade while removing any styles I may have created?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents woes
Hi :) Heading 1a is non-standard so it is something that someone has added. Probably you while you were learning about styles by experimentation (which is a valid way to learn but dipping into the chapter at the same time makes it more optimal). From what little i understand various styles should be linked in some way so that if you change the font (or something) of 1 then that change ripples through all the other relevant styles. However i think you are meant to modify the standard styles rather than re-invent your own. Obviously it's smart to create your own for testing purposes so that you can experiment without breaking anything but then apply what you learned to the main existing styles. Having said all that it might well be best to upgrade to the 4.0.3 first. The x.x.3 is the equivalent of Service Pack 3 and is usually the point where a branch becomes suddenly much more stable. The 4.0.x has been more stable than earlier releases for me and i upgraded early because of it but normally i would wait for the x.x.3. After that putting the time into fixing the problem is more likely to mean it stays fixed. Somewhere on the icon-bar is a backwards P which does show formatting marks but that doesn't show styles. It does tend to give hints about where things might have gone wrong but the napalm option is probably the fastest way to fix this.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents in alphabetic order?
I've spent over 24 hours, in the past, to get that to work with indexes and it doesn't. The directions in danilop do not work for me. There's probably some way to configure Styles and Paragraphs to allow for links in indexes but I haven't enough brains in my head (or patience) to spend any more time on this. Someone, not an expert, should write an simple guide on how to do it as too many assumptions are made which aren't included in the directions.

It does not matter where you put your Index, it indexes whole document (the logic behind it is nicely exposed in LaTeX, when you have to process document two times in order to generate Index). Indexes are usually placed by the end of book and most user search them there. You can index chapter heading (why couldn't you?). You can't index Table of Content (which would be pointless anyway). Oh, and if by your question you try to know if you can use Index in function of Table of Contents - perhaps with big enough effort you could, but why bother? If you need ToC, then you create ToC; if you need Index, then you create Index.

[libreoffice-users] Table of contents page numbers are not offset
I have a document with a title page that I don't want to be numbered. I offset page numbers in the footer by -1 and it's ok.

[libreoffice-users] Table of Contents with clickable links
Hi, For my asciidoc-odf project I am looking for a way to have a Table of Contents with clickable links to bring you automatically to the content. This is how most of the PDFs ought to work, but I cannot make this work in LibreOffice and as a result it doesn't work in the generated PDF. Can someone explain me how to do this in Libreoffice ? The Index/Table dialog has a button Hyperlink, which doesn't seem to have any effect, but it might be something I do not understand in this regard. Thanks in advance ! -- -- dag wieers, d...@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, i...@dagit.net, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

See manual. http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Formatting_an_Index_or_a_Table_of_Contents Ok, thanks. I came across that one before, but failed to make it work. Thanks to your reply I persevered and found what I was doing wrong. I can now generate a Table of Contents with working links by default ! One remark, the dialog where you edit the Index/Table where you have the E# and E buttons. Those buttons are too small so you can not see in fact what they state. For example, the LS and LE buttons do not properly show the text either. That makes it hard to understand what is going on. This is using LibreOffice 3.4.4 on a RHEL6 using Gnome. -- -- dag wieers, d...@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, i...@dagit.net, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents Editing
To Cor Nous, after the E3 (chapter number) there is a white field. You can put one/two spaces there. You can also put a Tab there (use the button) It didn't work. It just nudged the alignment of the words from the left * closer* to the numbers in the Table of Contents (ToC). Plus, as you can see from the example I gave: Table 4.4: Comparisons between mean survival of seeds and/or seedlings in experimental plot-lines versus survival of seeds and/or seedlings in the control plot-line at day 37. 51 to Table 4.4: Comparisons between mean survival of seeds and/or seedlings in experimental plot-lines versus survival of seeds and/or seedlings in the control plot-line at day 37. 51 The Index in question is an Index of Tables (IoT), which only has Entry, Tab Stop, and Page number. paragraph style, tab Text flow so that a paragraph stays with the next paragraph. Should work after I modified Content Heading 1. Thanks for the solution. Thanks for the help and suggestions. But may I suggest to the developers to tabulate the auto-generated ToC instead. That's essentially what I am doing now for the ToC and IoT so that I can properly align the texts.
