Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54700
Fields for very long titles don't allow the use of reduced versions.
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
If a title (a "heading1", for example) is something like this: This is a very very very long long long title splited over several lines. the title field will reflect the whole paragraph, but in my heading I want, instead of that, the following : A long title... That is, a reduced version. In latex, you can assign a brief "alias" to a very long title (something like \Chapter[brief title]{The very long complete title}), so if you use a fancy header, the alias and not the actual title is displayed in the header. In OOo, the title field display the whole paragraph, correctly aligned with line breaks when needed, but there is no way to set an "alias", which is an important limitation to the design of complex documents.
