Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of contents and page numbers

       I keep it in 'edit mode' until I'm finished; seems to work best than
switching between these -

            well, I figure the switching might confuse the computer;
                and I probably confuse it too much - and irritate it by
referring to it as a 'glorified typewriter'  ;-)
