I think Word 97 did "hot" links in a table of contents, but Word has
required a "control-click" for hyperlinks since at least Word 2000.
Probably in part a security measure, so it's harder for people to embed
something evil and have users jump into it without thinking first. If
OO also requires a control-click it's following the current standard.
As noted, if you save as PDF the links will become standard click-on type.
Setting up a linked TOC manually using bookmarks has not been necessary
since Word 2. Word allows the TOC to be generated using either headings
or bookmarks, and entries in the TOC are automatically links. I thought
OO Writer worked the same way. If I recall correctly index entries work
the same way (link to the location of the index tag, or use bookmarks if
desired).
