Is a problem of field codes that 
Microsoft Word allows you to edit (without dialog-box)
Writer allows you to edit only through dialog-box

The basic XE field in Microsoft word looks like this. 
To see them, make hidden text visible. 
     
{XE "main heading:subheading:sub-subheading"}

1)In theory, you can have as many sublevels as you want, separating them all 
with colons. 
For formatting purposes, remember that each sublevel is given its own style; 
just make sure that the styles are properly designed. 

Writer has only three levels.

2) Cross reference (Using Something Other Than Page Numbers)
You can suppress the appearance of page numbers and replace them with some 
other hardcoded text of your choosing using the \t flag.

Here are some examples of its use: 
{XE "main heading:subheading one" \t "See cross reference"}
{XE "main heading:subheading two" \t "See inside back cover"}

3) Bookmark (Page Ranges)
To create page ranges, use the \r flag.

{XE "main heading:subheading:sub-subheading" \r "bookmark"}

4)Identifying Groups of Index Fields
When you are building more than one index and want particular index entries to 
appear only within particular indexes, use the \f flag to label those entries. 
For example, if you are building a name index, a command index, 
and a general index (in which names and commands are included), you'll need two 
different arguments for the \f flag: 
one for the names, and one for the commands. 
The general index is the standard default index produced without the \f flags. 

{XE "main heading:name one" \f "names"}     
{XE "main heading:command one" \f "commands"}     
{XE "main heading:general stuff one"}     
{XE "main heading:name two" \f "names"}     
{XE "main heading:command two" \f "commands"}    
{XE "main heading:general stuff two"}

5)Formatting the Page Numbers
Microsoft Word allows for the use of boldface and italics page numbers. 
The flags needed to do this are quite simple: 

\b for boldface 
{XE \b "main heading:subheading:sub-subheading one"}

Supported by Writer
(Click Insert > Indexes and Tables > Entry > "Insert Index Entry" dialog-box 
> "Main entry")

\i for italics
{XE \i "main heading:subheading:sub-subheading two"}

OpenOffice not support cross references ('\t') or bookmarks ('\b') because it
did not these features:
see issue 104691 and issue 94565.
For the flag \t might be an idea to import it as hidden text, but linked to his
Index marker.

On OpenOffice 3.2.1
The problem remains.
