Description techxgames 2017-06-24 20:41:19 UTC
Description:
In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, creating a Table of Contents depends on the kinds of headers in use.  LibreOffice Writer doesn't recognize that.  This should be improved because its extremely hard to have a ToC (Table of Contents) created.  Even if I try to make it based on headers, the page will be left blanked.  I'm forced to use Microsoft Word because of this.

In my situation, I made a report in Google Docs, which contained ToC.  I did further editing using LibreOffice.  When I updated the ToC, everything was erased.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click
2. Update index
3.

Actual Results:  
That page is left blank when ToC was updated

Expected Results:
ToC will update with correct page numbers and headers


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

It' not clear for me, what you tried to do. Perhaps you can give some more informations or add an attachment. Did you use the user guide for writer (chapter 12 is about table of contents)?

Set to NEEDINFO because I think further informations are needed to solve this problem.

This is Invalid bug report. User had an issue with ToC and concluded ToC doesn't work. 
(Mostly) it works but users make errors, like Bug 114686 or Bug 65461.
