“Fortunately, Writer is also flexible enough to allow you to
produce useful, aesthetic ToCs if you follow a few basic steps.
,p>”However, before you read about these steps, you might want
to refer to “OpenOffice.org Off-the-Wall: ToCs, Indexes and
Bibliographies in OOo Writer,” which covers the basics of how to
create a ToC. The general procedure is not difficult: first. you
create the markers to use in the ToC via Insert -> Indexes and
Tables -> Entry -> Index -> Table of Contents, then you
generate the ToC through Insert -> Indexes and Tables ->
Indexes and Tables. If you want, all you need to do is click the OK
button to generate the ToC, but you can customize it in just about
every way imaginable, so you might want to refresh your mind about
the details before looking at these steps.”
