Index

The following options are available when you select Table of Contents as the index type.

To access this command...

Choose Insert - Table of Contents and Index - Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography - Type tab (when Table of Contents is the selected type)

Type and Title

Specify the type and title of the index.

Type

Select the type of index that you want to insert or edit. The options available on this tab depend on the index type that you select. If the cursor is in an index when you choose the Insert - Table of Contents and Index - Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography, you can then edit that index.

Title

Enter a title for the selected index.

Protected against manual changes

Prevents the contents of the index from being changed. Manual changes that you make to an index are lost when the index is refreshed. If you want the cursor to scroll through a protected area, choose - Collabora Office Writer - Formatting Aids, and then select the Enable cursor check box in the Protected Areas section.

Create Index or Table of Contents

For

Select whether to create the index for the document or for the current chapter.

Enter the number of heading levels to include in the index.

Create from

Use this area to specify which information to include in an index.

Outline

Creates the index using outline levels. Paragraphs formatted with one of the predefined heading styles (Heading 1-10) are added to the index.

You can also assign outline levels to paragraphs in the Outline & List tab page of the Format - Paragraph dialog.

Additional Styles

Includes the paragraph styles that you specify in the Assign Styles dialog as index entries. To select the paragraph styles that you want to include in the index, click the Assign Styles (...) button to the right of this box.

You can include the Figure Index Heading or Bibliography Heading styles, as well as any other relevant heading style, to the Table of Contents.

Assign styles

Opens the Assign Styles dialog, where you can select the paragraph styles to include in the index. Choose the proper heading level on which the style will be included in the index.

Collabora Office creates the table of contents entries based on the outline level of the paragraph style and the paragraph contents. If the paragraph is empty, it will not be included in the table of contents. To force the empty paragraph to be listed in the table of contents, manually add a space or a non breaking space to the paragraph. Spaces added in the After text box of the Numbering tab in the Chapter Numbering dialog will not work for this purpose, since they are part of the paragraph numbering, not the paragraph contents.

Index marks

Includes the index entries that you inserted by choosing Insert - Table of Contents and Index - Index Entry in the index.
