Re: [libreoffice-users] TOC corrupted, includes text from chapter

I had this problem when I migrated from 3.x to 4.0. IE. when I first 
started using LO.

I was also using "Heading n" and "Default Style". ISTR that the cut & 
paste method does not make any difference. I ended up retyping the 
little text which was affected.

It was at this point that I began to look more closely at styles. I 
began to use the OOoHeadings and OOotextbody settings we use for LO 
doco. I also had a look at the page style of each page as I was just 
blindly copying and pasting from other docs.

I know this doesn't really help and I haven't proved that my changes 
would have made any difference transitioning from 3.x to 4.0. It may be 
worth raising a bug report to see whether anyone bites :)

Cheers
