Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 71988
User-defined indexes lack some options available for alphabetical index
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
If a user-defined index is created, the dialog box displayed on selecting "Edit index/table" is missing a number of options which are available for the default Alphabetical Index: On the Index/table tab, all of the checkboxes available in the "Options" section of this tab for an Alphabetical index are missing, from "Combine identical entries" onwards. On the Entries tab, there is no "Chapter Info" button (references can therefore only be to page numbers, and not to outline-numbered paras). There are also no checkboxes for "Alphabetical delimiter" or "Key separated by commas" User-defined indexes would be much more usable with these options. This could also be linked with issues 63458 and 61089, which ask for hyperlinked entries in indexes - when that enhancement is made, it should also be made available to user-defined indexes.
Reassigned to ES.
