Andy, thanks. It's chapter 12 of the Writer Guide for version 3.x. The instruction was Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables... I put the cursor in a likely spot in Chapter 4 and invoked the dialog. On the first page of the Insert Index/Table dialog, there's a section "Create index/table" (as you mentioned) with a selection for 'Entire Document' or 'Chapter' I chose 'Chapter', and clicked [ OK ]. This yielded a local ToC for chapter 4 only, BUT with only the top-level headings represented (so two entries). With the chapter being about 40 pages long, I expected something between 20 and 60 entries, and so I need two lower levels included, as well. I puzzled for a moment (since "Evaluate up to level" was set at 10 at the time. Then, I remembered that headings need to be associated with the numbering, somehow... maybe, because it was imported from somebody else's original Word document, the connection was not there. I selected the Heading 2 and then Heading 3 paragraph styles and modified them to be associated with relevant "outline numbering" levels. When I recreated the ToC, it had all the desired heading levels... BUT it was now a ToC for the full document. No longer just for Chapter 4. What happened? Just to be sure, I opened the Insert Index/Table dialog again, and yes, "Create index/table for 'Chapter'" was still selected. I save-closed the dialog again and regenerated the ToC, but it's still a ToC for the entire document. The Writer Guide suggests "For more information, refer to Help > OpenOffice.org Writer > Contents." But the 3.1.1 Help for OpenOffice.org Writer doesn't appear to address this little issue. What am I mistaking here? I must have a wrong assumption somewhere. - Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
