Operation Manual

Compiling an automatic table of contents
To compile an automatic table of contents, first apply styles to the headings you want to appear in
the contents list, then use Tools > Outline Numbering to tell Writer which styles go with which
level in the table of contents. See Chapter 4 for more information.
Defining a sequence of styles
You can set up one paragraph style so that when you press Enter at the end of that paragraph, the
following paragraph automatically has the style you wish applied to it. For example, you could
define a Heading 1 paragraph to be followed by a Text Body paragraph. A more complex example
would be: Title followed by Author followed by Abstract followed by Heading 1 followed by Text
Body. By setting up these sequences, you can avoid manually applying styles in most cases.
