Re: [libreoffice-users] Table of Contents woes

Thanks, Tom.  It does seem like there's more than one style applied, but 
I don't know how to check that.  Is there a way to display hidden 
characters (would that show styles?) or other way I could see what's 
going on?  The napalm approach would be to remove all styles for the 
document and then re-apply them.  Maybe I'll try that on a portion of a 
copy.

Does anyone know what the Heading 1a style is for?  Is it possible I 
created it a year ago when I started this document?  I don't recall 
doing that.  I'll take a look at the styles section of the manual as 
it's about time I really learned how to use them.  A PITA to learn but I 
can see it's the best way to go.

Here's a little more info:
Heading 1a is level 1 in this documnt (not indented even thought this 
section header IS in fact indented)
Heading 1a is linked with Contents 2 (which is supposed to be level 2 I 
think)

So two questions.  First, could this be part of the trouble? Second, I 
was considering upgrading to LO 4, and in case my styles got scrogged, 
is there a way to upgrade while removing any styles I may have created?  
I'm sure I can re-apply the Draft style watermark which is the only 
custom style I intentionally use.

Thanks,
Carl
