Hi Philip,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. My responses are given in-line.

I have set up chapter numbering as per the help page
https://tinyurl.com/vsq77lu and created a "New Chapter" page style.

After inserting a manual page break with the "New Chapter" page style I
set the first paragraph style to "Heading 1" and the correct chapter
name/number is displayed both on the page and in Navigator.

However, when I insert a TOC into the document no chapters appear in the
index.

Any thoughts or pointers would be welcome.

Thanks Dave
Hi Dave,

Looking at your original document, it is clear that in the chapters you
have created, all that appears in the heading of each chapter is the
'Before' and 'After' elements that you have specified in the dialog box
of Tools > Chapter Numbering. As Regina states in her reply, you have
not typed anything of your own invention.

Look at my reply to Regina. My own invention is the word "Chapter" plus
a single space in the Before field.

Directly after Chapter 1, in the H1 heading above your text, type for
example 'The Start'. Then right click in the TOC and select 'Update
Index' and watch 'The Start' appear directly after Chapter 1 and before
the long line of dots leading to the page number (3).

Yes I am fully aware of how to create a TOC. However, I stumbled over
this issue when preparing a LibreOffice training session for a group of
novice authors and I wanted to work "by the book" so that they could
accurately use our help files and documentation for future reference.

The instructions you repeated from the help pages do work. Your later
specially created test doc has a problem between the TOC and the first
line - don't know what it is but when I created a similar file, leaving
lots of space between the TOC and the body, it works perfectly.

I have unzipped both the origin documents that brought this issue to my
attention and the simplified example I created, but I have been unable
to find any issue with their internal structure.

I am having some difficulty working out what you mean by adding space
between the TOC and the (first line ?). Could I ask you to send me a
copy of your example file off list please?

But you must, as Regina says, add some sort of title to your chapter
heading, even a blank space.

See my reply above.

Again thank you for trying to help.

Regards
Dave
