1.

Find Text for the Table

Select one or more paragraphs that you want to include in your table of contents. If you're writing a book, generally such a paragraph will consist of the introduction, chapter titles, and appendixes (if any).

NOTE

If you formatted your introduction, chapter titles, and appendixes with the

Heading 1 style, you don't need to reapply the style.

2.

Request the Heading 1 Style

If you've selected paragraphs to apply the

Heading 1 style to, select

Styles and Formatting from the

Format menu to display the

Styles and Formatting window. You'll see a list of styles from which you can choose. (Click the

Paragraph Styles button from the drop-down box if it's not already selected.)

3.

Select Heading 1

Select

Heading 1 from the style list and click

OK . Continue applying the

Heading 1 style to all paragraphs in your document that you want to include in the table of contents. As you apply the

Heading 1 style, the format of those paragraphs typically changes to become boldface.

TIP

Add chapter numbers in front of chapter titles so the chapter numbers automatically appear in the table of contents.

4.

Determine the Style

Once you've applied the

Heading 1 style to all the paragraphs you want to include in your table of contents, you can generate the table of contents. Move the text cursor to the beginning of your document (assuming you want the table of contents to appear there).

Select

Insert, Indexes and Tables to display the

Insert Index/Table dialog box. You can change various aspects of your table of contents, such as the title. As you change various options, the preview image of your table will update to the left of the dialog box. Deselect the option labeled

Protected against manual changes if you want the ability to modify the actual table of contents after Writer generates it.

Once you're ready to generate the table of contents, click

OK . Writer generates the table from your selected styles.

5.

Make the Final Table Edits

You now must make final edits to the table of contents. You can format the table, put page breaks around it (using

Control+Enter ), and add spacing between the lines if you wish. If you find that Writer doesn't let you change the table, you didn't uncheck

Protected against manual changes when you generated the table in the

Insert Index/Table dialog box. You can regenerate the table with the option unchecked and then make any edits you wish.
