| |
| − | Use the Index/Table page, pictured above, to set the attributes of the TOC.

| − | ==Changing the title==
| |
| − | To give the table of contents a different title, type it in the ''Title'' field. To delete the title, clear the ''Title'' field.

| |
| − | ==Setting the type of index==
| |
| − | In computer terminology, a table of contents is one of several types of indexes. Be sure the Type of Index is set to Table of Contents. See Alphabetic indexes” on page 18 and “Other types of indexes” on page 28 for more about creating other types of indexes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Documentation/Note|You can only change the type of index when you first create it. Once you define an index type (for example, make a table of contents) you cannot change the type.}}

| − | ==Protecting against manual changes==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To prevent the TOC from being changed accidentally, select '''Protected against manual changes'''. If this option is selected, the TOC can only be changed by using the right-click menu or the Insert Table/Index dialog box. If the option is not selected, the TOC can be changed directly on the document page, just like other text. However, any manual changes will be lost when you update it.

| − | ==Changing the number of levels included==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Writer uses 10 levels of headings when it builds the table of contents (or the number of levels used in the document, whichever is smaller). To change the number of levels included, enter the required number in the Evaluate up to level box. For example, the TOC in this book includes only the first four heading levels.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Choosing the scope of the table of contents==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The for drop-down list in the Create index/table area, allows you to select whether the TOC will cover all the document's headings ('''Entire document''') or just the headings of the chapter where it is inserted. Writer identifies a “chapter” as all the headings between two first level outline headings (normally ''Heading 1'').

| |
| − | ==Creating a Table of Contents from an outline==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The third section of the Index/Table page is used to determine what Writer should use to create the TOC. The available choices (not mutually exclusive) are:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Outline
| |
| − | * Additional styles
| |
| − | * Index marks
| |
| − |
| |
| − | By default Writer uses the outline levels; that is, paragraphs formatted with the paragraph styles associated with outline levels in '''Tools > Outline Numbering'''. In the default document, ''Heading 1'' has outline level 1, ''Heading 2'' outline level 2 and so on up to ''Heading 10''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can change the paragraph styles included in the outline as described in [[Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Defining_hierarchy| Defining a hierarchy of headings]] in Chapter 6 of this guide. You can include other paragraph styles in the TOC by assigning an outline level to those styles. To do this, modify the paragraph style definition: go to the Outline & Numbering page for the style, and select the required outline level. Click '''OK''' to save the change.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Creating from additional styles==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | By selecting the ''Additional Styles'' option on the Index/Table page, you can add more paragraph styles to the TOC. This can be useful when you want to include in the TOC an annex (appendix). If the ''Outline'' option is also selected, the additional styles will be included in the table of contents together with the ones defined in the outline numbering. However, headings included in the TOC using this feature are '''not''' hyperlinked to the headings in the document body as are headings assigned to outline levels.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Documentation/Note| As described above, you can now assign outline levels to paragraph styles. Styles with outline levels assigned are hyperlinked in the TOC.}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In versions of Writer before 3.1, here is how to include paragraphs formatted with other styles:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <ol><li> In the ''Create from area'', deselect '''Outline''' and select instead '''Additional Styles''' and click the '''...''' button to the right of Additional Styles. The Assign Styles dialog box opens.
| |
| − | <li> In the '''Not applied column''', click the style that you want to assign to the index.
| |
| − | <li> Use the '''>>''' button to move the selected style to the desired outline level. For example, to have paragraphs formatted with the selected style to appear as top-level entries in the table of contents, click the '''>>''' button once to move the style into the 1 column. To move the style in the opposite direction, use the '''<<''' button.
| |
| − | <li> Click '''OK''' to save your changes and return to the Index/Table tab or click '''Cancel''' to return without saving your changes.</li></ol>

| |

| |
| − | {{Documentation/Note| You can not change the outline level of a paragraph as defined in '''Tools > Outline Numbering''' using the Additional Styles page. In fact any change made to the level of these paragraphs will be ignored.}}

| − | ==Creating from index marks==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This selection adds any index entries that you have inserted into the document by using '''Insert > Indexes and Tables > Entry'''. Normally you would not use this selection for a table of contents. However, if you do wish to use it, be sure to select Table of Contents from the drop-down list in the Insert Index Entry dialog box when you are entering the index entries for use in a TOC, so that Writer can distinguish between them and any index entries intended for inclusion in an alphabetic index.

Start by clicking in the document where you want the table of contents to appear and choose Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables to open the Insert Index/Table dialog box shown in below.
You can also access this dialog box at any time by right-clicking anywhere in an existing table of contents and choosing Modify from the pop-up menu.
The Insert Index/Table dialog box has five pages. Each of them covers a different aspect of the TOC structure and appearance:
You can display a preview box, located on the left-hand side of each page, to show as you work how the TOC will look. (If you do not see the preview box, select the Preview option in the lower right-hand corner of the dialog box.) The illustrations in this chapter show the dialog box as it appears with the preview box hidden.
