Hello
I think the following is a problem when you are creating a Table of
Contents.
When creating a Table of Contents, in the Insert Index/Table dialog on the
Styles page, you cannot change the assignment levels to a paragraph style of
your own choosing. In other words, assignment Level 1 uses Contents 1 style
as its paragraph style, and so on through the assignment levels. This means
that if you are creating a user guide, you CANNOT add the paragraph style
for the chapter title into the Table of Contents at Level 1 and you CANNOT
use heading paragraph styles for the lower levels.
I do not understand your problem. When you have create your own paragraph style, it will be in the right list and you can assign it to the TOC level of your choice. Click on the level in the left list, click on the style in the right list, click on the assign button < . What is the problem?
The default Contents 1 - 2 - and so on do pick up the text from the Heading
1 - 2 - and so on styles and place the information into the Table of
Contents.
The page "Styles" is for to set the style of the lines in the TOC. I see no problem in using the "Contents*"-styles. You can design them to your needs. Why do you need others?
These styles do not determine that "Heading 1" is a level 1 in your document structure. To determine the level of the paragraph style in the document structure, you can use Tools > Outline, which is the default way, or you set the level explicitly in the section "Outline" in the tab "Outline & Numbering" of the paragraph style.
The section "Create From" in the page "Index/Table" of the TOC dialog
determines, which paragraphs are included in the TOC. The default setting is "outline", which includes the outline paragraph styles via Tools > Outline and explicit outline styles. You can check "Additional styles" to include paragraph styles, which do not belong to the group "outline".
That is OK, but what if you want to create your own Table of
Contents in your own style, like we do for the LO User Guides.
I cannot help you with the specific LO User Guide and its template.
Kind regards
