Writer Guide

You can display a preview box, located on the left-hand side of each
tab, to show as you work how the table of contents will look. (If you do
not see the preview box, select Preview in the lower right-hand corner
of the dialog box.) The illustrations in this chapter show the dialog box
as it appears with the preview box hidden.
After making all your changes, click OK to save the table of contents
so it appears in your document.
Using the Index/Table page
Use the Index/Table page, pictured in Figure 327, to set the attributes
of the table of contents.
Adding a title
To give the table of contents a title, type it in the Title field. (You can
change an existing title by typing over it.) To delete the title, clear the
Title field.
Setting the type of index
You can create several types of indexes. They include:
• Table of Contents
• Alphabetical Index
• Illustration Index
• Table of Objects
• Bibliography
You can also create user-defined indexes.
Note
You can only change the type of index when you first create it.
Once you define an index type (for example, make a table of
contents) you cannot change the type.
Choosing the scope of the table of contents
From the for drop-down list in the Create index/table area, select
Entire document. There is an additional option to create a table of
contents for just the current chapter. For more information, refer to
Help > OpenOffice.org Writer > Contents.
