Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97364
Page numbering should not be touched from paragraph style in Indexes
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:34 UTC
If the paragraph style of an Index (e.g. Contents 1-10) is capitalized, then the page numbers become capitalized too. See attached picture. Expected behavior: Page numbers (created with Page Layout Settings) should not be touched from paragraph style font effects (capitals, lower case, title, small capitals) of Indexes.

Under "Insert - Indexes and Tables - Indexes and Tables - Entries" click on [#] and define in the drop down listbox "Character style", a style set to "Small Caps".

Thanks for your suggestion. But that doesn't do what I want. "Small caps" are not "no caps", so there are 2 proposals for solution: variation 1: Page numbers (created with Page Layout Settings) should not be touched from paragraph style font effects (capitals, lower case, title, small capitals) of Indexes. Page number styles should take priority over paragraph styles in Indexes. variation 2: A new font effect with the name "cancel effects" (or something else) should be created, which deletes and overwrites the effects (capitals, lower case, title, small capitals) of paragraph styles. For simple use, this new character style could be part of the standard character style set in "Styles and Formatting", so that a user has not to create this style manually.

Huh, sorry! Character style "lowercase" / "Gemeine" (what a self-explanatory name for this in German) is the solution for variatio 2. So this works so far. But is this not only a workaround and not a "worksforme"? So I would suggest to implement variation 1, because that meets the requirements of users. Isn't this a (small) usability issue?
Reassigned to requirements. An exception has to be implemented, which ignores the character effect for page number characters in TOCs.
