Unit-1 DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION (ADVANCED) USING LIBREOFFICE WRITER
3 ADVANCED FEATURES OF
WRITER
If you have noticed the table of contents given in the beginning of the book, it shows topics, subtopics. It acts
as an index for fetching out the page number quickly according to the topic headings.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
In Writer, the Table of Contents (TOC) feature enables us to build an automated table of contents from the
headings present in our document. Whenever changes are made in the textual part of heading in any document
or the page on which the heading appears, those changes automatically appear in the table of contents.
Before starting, make sure that the headings are styled consistently. For example, we can use the Heading 1 style
for chapter titles, the Heading 2, and Heading 3 styles for chapter headings and sub-headings, respectively.
Defining the Hierarchy of Headings
Outline numbering defines the hierarchy of headings in a document. Typically, the first-level headings in a
book-length document are the next level of headings after the chapter titles which may be numbered. Some
chapter titles and heading styles provide number to each chapter and heading level, for example, 1, 1.1, 1.2,
2, 2.1, and so on.
When chapters or sections are added or deleted, the numbering is automatically changed. The default
paragraph styles assigned to outline levels are the heading styles as Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on.
LibreOffice Writer supports up to 10 levels of headings Heading 1 to Heading 10.
Outline Numbering
We can modify the heading hierarchy or assign a level in the hierarchy to a custom paragraph style. We can
also add chapter and section numbering to heading paragraph styles. By default, the “Heading 1” paragraph
style is at the top of the outline hierarchy.
To add automatic outline numbering to a heading style:
Step 1: Click on Tools and then select Heading Numbering option.
Step 2: Heading Numbering dialog box appears on the screen. Click on the
Numbering tab.
Step 3: Select 1 in the Level list box.
Step 4: Select 1, 2, 3 in the Number drop-down list 1
Step 5: Select 1 in the Start at spin box.
Step 6: Select Heading 1 in the Paragraph style drop-down list.
Step 7: Similarly, select 2 in Level, Heading 2 in Paragraph style, A, B, C in Number for Heading 2.
Step 8: Similarly, select 3 in Level, Heading 3 in Paragraph style, a, b, c in Number for Heading 3.
