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 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/05 1:20 PM >>> On Mon, 2005-09-12 at 10:05 -0500, Robert Volke wrote: > I don't think I was clear in my previous message as I believe I have > offended you. Not at all.

Thank you again, > 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. :-) > Robert > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/05 9:57 AM >>> > On Mon, 2005-09-12 at 09:48 -0500, Robert Volke wrote: > > Thats strange?
