Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: [libreoffice-users] Word import TOC link style

Hi :)
I am not sure but when you have a ToC it picks-up new headings that have the appropriate style 
applied doesn't it?  

So if you have it so that the ToC picks-up Heading1 and Heading2.  Then you
1.  write a couple of words 
2.  apply the style Heading2 to those words
3.  right-click in the ToC and tell it to update

So set-up a ToC for a short document, delete the contents but leave the ToC (which will look fairly 
blank) and then save as an OpenDocument Format (a .OTT in this case i think) template?

Tom :)

Hei, 

Yes, that's fine in theory how to adjust existing TOCs but it doesn't
actually tell me how to make these links use "index link" automagically when
I open a word document in writer. I don't also see any way to change the TOC
defaults. I can insert a TOC in the template, yes, but that will only
achieve having a TOC in all new documents (?). TOC settings do not appear in
the style manager or any other place I've found. I can only see them when
inserting a new TOC or editing an existing one. 

WRT template changer, I'm not really sure it's really faster than changing
the internet link -style. The keyword here is how to make this happen
automagically. I'd love to recommend libreoffice as a handy indexed PDF
creator but those amateurish looking garish TOC entries are just not
professional looking at all in a document that's supposed to be handed to
clients.

If you have read a 400-page microcontroller handbook in PDF that isn't
indexed you know it'd be pretty easy sell..
