Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 76350
allow multiple paragraph types for table of contents
Last modified: 2007-04-16 08:35:22 UTC
I created a Table of Contents. I right-clicked on the table to edit it. Under the Styles tab there is the assignment of Paragraph Styles to the Levels. This assignment appears to be one-to-one, i.e., only one Paragraph Style can be assigned to any given Level. It is more useful if more than one Paragraph Style can be assigned to any given Level. (No Paragraph Style should be assigned to more than one Level at a time). I'm working on a big document. It has many heading levels. In particular the level 3 headers are used in two ways in the document. In half the document, the level 3's don't require page breaks, and so the style doesn't include a page break. In the other half of the document, all the level 3's require their own page (opcode definitions for a processor), and so I have a separate copy of the Heading 3 called Heading 3 Break. I need all of the level 3 headers to show up in the Table of Contents. It's too tedious to insert a separate page break for each of the opcode pages. That's what paragraph styles are good at. Please allow multiple Paragraph Styles to be associated with each of the TOC Levels. Thanks for improving this great software!
If your problem is only to show them in the TOC, check "Additional Styles", select your style and shift it to level 3 with the >> button. If your problem is the chapter numbering for those headings, then there is no simple way in the moment. Please discuss workarounds in a forum or newsgroup. It is ongoing work, see issue 70748 and http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/numbering/OutlineLevel.odt See also issue 5038. Perhaps you want to vote for it? *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 5038 ***
Closing dup.
