Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents woes

Hi :)
Have you been able to manually edit it?  

It does look as though something is very wrong.  It looks like 2 styles have been applied to each 
heading.  First as a sub-heading and then as a main heading.  Sometimes the fastest way to fix 
something is an inelegant approach such as mine rather than trouble-shooting down to the exact 
cause.  

If it was all the sub-headings that you wanted to get rid of then it's fairly easy to set the ToC 
to only show main headings but that would not help this case.  There is some documentation on 
Styles in Chapter 3 of the Getting Started Guide
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice

Hopefully someone else can give a better answer (or even better if i missed a better answer)
Apols and regards from 
Tom :)
