Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39835
Cannot hyperlink additional styles in TOC
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
It is not possible to hyperlink additional styles in a Table of Contents or other index. This was reported in users today. I have confirmed that this so and believe it is a defect.
Added Laurent to cc list
Hi problem on all 1.1.x versions (Linux) even on 1.9.65 Laurent
What is worse it under 1.9m67, one cannot even get what one has in 1.1.x
MRU->ES: this is similar (or even duplicate) to issue 39083. Please clear out with OS, how to further process this.
Not a duplicate. This issue addresses the problem of not being able to hyperlink additional styles. What is worse, is that m67 will not even accept the addition of any additional style. Thus we have a regression.
-> grsingleton: Please file another issue for the non considered additional styles. -> OS: obviously, additional styles have never been able to carry hyperlinks.
-> grsingleton: Please file another issue for the non considered additional styles. Huh? THis is the issue that addresses this problem. You should know that any undocumented feature is a bug. This issue reports this bug. -> OS: obviously, additional styles have never been able to carry hyperlinks. WHat!? This is not STATED anywhere. Additional styles should be included and to NOT include them is a DEFECT. I repeat, Huh? THis is the issue that addresses this problem. You should know that any undocumented feature is a bug. This issue reports this bug.
Hi all IMHO, the problem is that hyperlinks are handled in "Entries" Tab that only deals with outline numberring and not Table of Contents levels which are two seprated things --> make "Entries" concern TOC levels and not only outline numberring Laurent

Re-opened. THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE!! This issue addresses a failure of OOo to deal with hyperlinking additional syles. This bug has nothing to do with 39083. In fact 39083 should be closed as "will not fix" as the functionality is there but the OP and apparently others haven't a clue. NOW GET THIS FIXED, please, and stop attemtping to close a legitimate issue.
Please calm down and stop crying. In this task you initially reported that the Writer is not able to jump to the 'addtional styles' in a TOC Afterwards you reported that in m67 it's not possible to add addtional styles anymore. ES asked you to submit an addtional issue for that and you wrote the following: "Huh? THis is the issue that addresses this problem. You should know that any undocumented feature is a bug. This issue reports this bug. " which is obviously wrong. BTW - just checked an m67 and it worked. Issue 39083 is about an imported .doc-file that results in a TOC with 'additional styles' where the hyperlinks are missing. They are missing because the Writer cannot jump to those paragraphs. For me these two issues are duplicates. The issue 12228, that you have set as a duplicate of 39083 is about a save/load problem where the paragraph style/outline level assignment is lost. I cannot see the similarity.
I suspect that language is the problem. I stated "It is not possible to hyperlink additional styles in a Table of Contents or other index." Where to find jumping. Your statement of "In this task you initially reported that the Writer is not able to jump to the 'addtional styles' in a TOC" make no sense. Let me explain: I wnat to hyperlink additional styles regardless of the release I use. That you cannot is the issue. So in your haste to close you have misread what is stated. Additional headers SHOULD be able to be hyperlinked in any index. Do you not agree? On the off chance that you misinterpret the problem again, the abiltiy to hyperlink ALL index entries, especially in a TOC, is implicit in OOo. BTW, 39083 in my estimation is a duplicate of 12228. I looked at the sample files and believe it is user error in setting up the TOC that is the problem. Further the problem is solved in releases later than the one the OP used. As to similarity of 39083 to 12228, check. IU suggest that in your haste you are missing the point.
In which other index than TOC we have 'additional styles'?
Other than being pendantic, what is your point. The summary explicity states TOC. Is just that you wish to invalidate the summary info or are you trying to be insulting?
>In which other index than TOC we have 'additional styles'? Everything that can be created at ">Insert >Indexes and Tables >Indexes and Tables >Index/Table >Type and Title >Type _Drop Down Box_" FWIW, I've had documents which have had up to 50 _different_ styles for the TOC.[Text had twenty or so different languages in, with different heading levels.] xan jonathon
Thanks for your insight. However, how does this apply to hyperlinking additional styles. Please explain.
To sum up, 2 problems here: 1) Additinal styles cannot be hyperlinked. This has never (any release) been possible. The reason of this missing feature (or concept bug, whatever one may call it...) has been correctly described by Laurent Godard. This problem is already addressed by issue 3356 (which is, yes, an enhancement, because we need to think about and specify a new design of the dialog for this) 2) Since a few builds (approx. m67) additional styles cannot be added to TOCs. This bug is a regression which is now reported in issue 40135 I close this task as duplicate of issue 3356. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3356 ***
closed
Thanks for the explanation. I will use this to update the user guide. It must be documented somewhere and the guide is the only thing under my control.
what is the status here ?
