If I remember correctly, the default setting in LibreOffice (and OpenOffice.org) is that only headings 1 to 3 are considered for the table of contents. It is possible to change this. You will find a much better description for this in here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/9/9b/0212WG3-TOCsIndexesBiblios.odt Using Tools > Outline Numbering > Numbers only affects how your headings are displayed, e. g. do they have a number or not. Something like 1 First chapter 2 Second chapter 2.1 First sub chapter 2.2 Second sub chapter and so on... It does not have any effect on which headings appear in your TOC. Hope I could help a bit.
