     You are not very clear in what you want nor what you want to do with 
it. Do you mean you want to be able to see all of the headings contained 
in the document? If so, you can use the Navigator (F5) to do this. When 
you open the Navigator, the first item of the list is Headings. It 
contains a sublist of all of the places using one of the heading styles. 
Clicking on a given heading will take you directly to that line in the 
document.

     If this is not what you mean, what do you mean by "Entries"?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for replying. By "index entries" I meant the text you can mark and 
insert by means of Insert > Indexes And Tables > Entry. In my setup this shows 
up as a narrow gray bar in the text in the case of index entries inserted in MS 
Word or as word with a gray background if the index entry is inserted or 
modified in Writer. In MS Word you can choose to see these entries along with 
your regular text (as hidden text). I'd like to be able to do so in Writer as 
well.
I hope this clarifies things.
John
