Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with chapter numbering and TOC.

Dave,

Have you added your new style to the TOC?

Right-click on the TOC. Select "Edit Index".

If "Protected against manual changes" is checked, you will have to 
uncheck it, OK and re-edit the TOC.

Select the "Type" tab if not already shown. Down under "Create from", 
check "Additional Styles" and then the "Assign styles..." box to the right.

You should see a list of the styles in your document, including your 
"New Chapter" style, on the left column ("Not applied") and the 
associated TOC levels (associated to styles in the Styles tab) to the 
right of the first column. Scroll down to find your style, "New 
Chapter", and use the ">|" or "|<" buttons to assign a contents level 
for your style by moving the style into the proper level column. I would 
guess the "1" column, since it is higher than the headings.

Since by default, "heading1" style is associated to contents level 1 and 
this procedure reassigns TOC level 1, You may need to manually associate 
the heading styles to the correct level also. Do the same for all the 
heading levels you use in the document, since they are all shifted up a 
level. Note that the more custom levels you have, the less heading 
levels you will have, since the limit is 10. One way around that, is to 
assign a single TOC level style to all heading levels. But that may 
limit the look of your TOC if you want different styles for different 
levels, such as indents.

It may take some experimentation with this to get what you want out of 
it. For instance, if you want the "New Chapter" contents style to look 
different than the stock styles, you may need to make a contents style 
specific for the TOC rather than the default "contents*" styles. Then in 
the "Styles" tab, change the New Chapter level (1) to use your new 
contents style. Use the "<-" button by selecting the level and then the 
style followed by the "<-" button to make the assignment.

When you are all done, re-check the Protected Against Manual Changes box 
and OK.

HTH.
