Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 41002
TOC in an imported MS Word file does not honour tabs from an autonumbered list
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:51 UTC
I ran across a problem where Writer is incorrectly importing an MS Word document that contains a Table of Contents Index built from Headings that have auto numbering. More specifically, OOo does not honour the tab after the number in the TOC, causing the number to be positioned right next to the text of the Heading, instead of a tab separating them. The following MS Word file contains Headings on page 2 that contain auto numbering, with an index generated from each type of Heading on page 1. A pdf is created in both MS Word and OOo to highlight the difference.

Created attachment 21695 [details] PDF file created from MS Word using Adobe Acrobat
Created attachment 21696 [details] PDF file created from OOo using the export PDF command
To have this, two things must be implemented in OO Writer: 1.) the capability to support Tab characters as "Followed by" character in numberings. This is settled in the spec "NumberingBullets2.sxw". See issue 20387 for further information. Will be done for successor of OO 2.0. 2.) TOC's must be able to display this tab positions though not set in the TOC's paragraph style. MRU->OS: I pass this to you for implementing 2.) when Henning has finished the changes stated by "NumberingBullets2.sxw" spec.
The problem with no space after chapter number seems to be fixed in 680m79, possibly by bug 19683. If this is only about the tab itself and not the appearance, then it is probably a duplicate of bug 39120.
This is duplicate of Issue 39120. I recommend marking as such.
