Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61097
Not all Index entries are right aligned.
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:21:56 UTC
Not all Index entries are right aligned. I have a 300+ page odt file. I have entered an alphabetical index at the end of the document, with two levels. Both levels are supposed to be right-aligned (no tabs). Most of the entries appear as desired. But in case of a few index entries, the page numbers are not right-aligned: For such entries, the page numbers start after a few spaces of the entry's name. There is no pattern: The problem is not limited to long entries, numerous page numbers, etc... I checked the entries appearing before/after the problematic entries also; but there seems to be no pattern there also. I can share this file (confidential: do not share/post). (In fact, this single file can demonstrate all 70+ issues I have raised.)
Reassigned to ES.
Please send me the file indicating the issue ID.
I have posted the file at the FTP site Lars has provided. I will send you the details. Please do not share/post it here! Thanks.
Lars has forwarded the file to MRU and ES. It clearly shows this problem. Please confirm!
The Index shows another problem also: 1. All "keys" are not supposed to have a blank line to the right. But Writer shows some keys with dots (.....) extending till the end of the column. 2. The display does not look properly formatted, as the margins are not aligned automatically to the longest Index Entry. In such cases, the page numbers start immediately after the entry's text.
Page numberws not right aligned, for Contents 4 paragraph style, reset "Indents and Spacings": - Before text: 0.59'' - First line: 0.00''

No it's not that: three samples having "Index 1" style are reproduced below: Recent 92, 93, 239, 240, 274 Recycle bin.....93, 103, 104, 163, 239, 240, 255 RegEx 223, 305, 306 The middle line has right alignment. The other two lines have left alignment. These two entries have left-alignment. Path 47, 95, 205, 222, 225, 259, 266, 282 pdf 93, 94, 167, 201, 209
(Sorry I mixed up TOC and index! /-( ) The problem is due to a mix of: - right aligned tab - indent before text - too few page numbers to wrap on the sond line - an entry shorter than the indent before text See my comments in the attached document.

.
The sample says (at the end) that the problem will be solved when the entry is right-aligned. Actually I should have reported my bug in generic terms; something like this: "All entries in Index do not follow the given alignhment." Although I highlighted the issue in the right-alignment context, it applies to left alignment too. So, if the entry is formatted for the left-alignment, they should be consistent in that. Secondly, the sample does not mention the following issue: "In the case of a multiline entry, automatically change the paragraph's hanging indent to make the entry stand out." Please let me know if this should be raised as a separate issue. Thanks!
