Description Heinrich Hartl 2016-06-13 12:44:34 UTC
The likely place for a chapter index is at the beginning of that chapter. The Heading of the chapter then is repeated in the first line of the index. 

I would like to avoid that repetition and suggest not to include the chapter heading in a chapter index or to make inclusion optional. 

If excluded the user still has the option to write an appropriate text in the index title.

Thanks Henrich. I set this to new.

For easiness: do you have a sample document / screen print / PDF?

Disagree with the need to fiddle around with outlines. You better create another style that looks alike your headings but uses text body as outline level. Just create a new style based on the heading, eg. below H1..9 to inherit all attributes, and double-check the Outline & Numbering tab.
