As they say in the NFL, upon further review, I realize I didn't use section breaks but rather manual page breaks. I think I was confusing my technique with LO with my technique with MS-Word. Sorry for my own confusion.

After some more investigation I think much of my woe stemmed from having the 'no manual editing' tickbox selected in the ToC (the ol' user-error issue eh:). Still having some issues with appendices though, so appreciate your assistance.

I've never used a master document as I've never written anything long enough to justify it, but for my longer documents, I set it up this way. Title page -- using a page style I call TitlePage (section break) Front matter (table of contents, etc.) using a page style called FrontMatter (section break) Main matter (body of my document) using my standard page style (or if it's double sided, I may have different page styles for right and left sided pages. With each section break, I reset the page numbering to "1," using lower case roman numerals for the front matter and Arabic numbers for the main body. Hope this helps. I'll email you directly a sample document showing my page styles, etc. Virgil On 10/15/2016 7:30 AM, Julian Brooks wrote: > Hi all, > > With a huge nod of appreciation to Virgil, I've managed to start building a > thesis template.
