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.

Your quite right, it is chapter 12. I can not say that the problem
maybe. If you would like I can take a look at the document and see if I
can spot something, sometimes having a second set of eyes take a look
can help.
