My own invention is the word "Chapter" plus a single space in the Before field. > Directly after Chapter 1, in the H1 heading above your text, type for > example 'The Start'.

Yes I am fully aware of how to create a TOC. However, I stumbled over this issue when preparing a LibreOffice training session for a group of novice authors and I wanted to work "by the book" so that they could accurately use our help files and documentation for future reference. > The instructions you repeated from the help pages do work.

I have unzipped both the origin documents that brought this issue to my attention and the simplified example I created, but I have been unable to find any issue with their internal structure. I am having some difficulty working out what you mean by adding space between the TOC and the (first line ?). Could I ask you to send me a copy of your example file off list please? > But you must, as Regina says, add some sort of title to your chapter > heading, even a blank space. See my reply above. > hth > Philip Again thank you for trying to help.
