Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54051
WW8: obsolete tabstop in TOC imported; distorts TOC view on update
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:20:10 UTC
I am currently working with OO version 109 on an NT machine. I am working on a doc whose TOC was originally created in Microsoft but I have been editing and saving the document as an OpenOffice text document (.odt). Everything was saving fine but when I update the index the entries now take up 2 to 3 lines instead of just one (it places the periods sepperating page number and heading on a sepperate line). How can I correct this problem, and what exactly is going on? It didn't do this at first. I've attached the TOC of my example document for reference. I'm also haveing the problem where the TOC entries (in the attached document) for Revision History and Table of Contents, are duplicated (you may see two to three copies of these when you update the index. This happens less frequently but for the documents it happens in I have found no way to alleviate the problem. If I delete the extras and save the document, then click update index again, the duplicates return (however if I hit update, without deleting them, they will not continue to duplicate). Thank you for your help, Robert

Please only submit 1 problem perissue. 1) I don't know why there are 2 tab stops definition in your TOC. Simply remvoe the first one and keep the second one with the option [X] Right align. 2) On the 1st tabpage of the TOC dialog, click on [...] in front of "Additional styles" and reset the "Heading... NON TOC" back to no level. For problem 1, it would be usefull to have the original Word document to see if the 2 tabs are the reslut of an import/export problem.

ES->MRU: problem 1 = WOrd export problem. Please have a look.
MRU->FLR: in the TOC, there is an obsolete tabstop (when viewing in the TOC dialog, at the end of each level of the entries). When saving the document as odt and reopening, it will make the TOC look bad when updating.
