Thank you very much for your help.  I looked over the document and all
the links are working fine, thank you.  I was looking over my
submissions and realized I completely forgot to mention the source of
the document, and I apologize for this omission.  The template was
originally created using Microsoft Office and I do not know the original
creator as they have already left the company, therefore it would be
very difficult to reproduce the technique for developing the document. 
When I first opened the document with OpenOffice, none of the links
worked.  I saved the file as .odt, and modified the structure by adding
links, and this corrected the link problem for most of them.  There was
another oddity that might lead us to why these issues are occurring. 
When I looked at my structure for the TOC, in some of the levels there
would be two text boxes right next to each other instead of having a
button in between them.  

I need to try and make sure that whatever solution I develop, I can
convert the document back to a .doc without unfixable corruption.  I
tried converting your modified document back to a .doc so that it could
be opened with Microsoft Office and multiple things happened when trying
to open it with Word 97.  The links no longer work and the table is no
longer recognized by Word as a table (you can neither update or edit the
table, it is essentially an image that cannot be selected for any
reason).  I'm currently working on this issue since now I can (thanks to
you) get the table to function properly in OpenOffice.  Let me know if
you have any more progress,

Thank you,
Robert Volke

Not at all. Email from openoffice.org today is very slow coming and so
I
put my findings in the issue and tried to answer on users.

I do not think you have installed anything incorrectly. I think that
the
TOC just got messed up. I have had that happen in 1.1.4 with the user
guide and have had to regenerate it. So I tried that with your doc and
it seems to work. Since I do not know what you really expected as what
you attached was already bad, I posted a new copy for your review. 

In rebuilding the TOC, I had to add your special headings for the last
two before they would show up but once that was done I believe all is
okay. Please review the attachment and let us know if that is what you
wanted. If yes, then we can report that and, hopefully, one of the
developers will have a look at what went wrong. It would be nice if
you
could create another example that does the same thing and for which
you
have a step-by-step for reproducing the problem.

BTW, I have written more in this note than I usually do. I guess terse
answers can be misinterpreted but I am also trying to make a living
and
OOo stuff sometimes has to be done in  a hurry. :-)
