1. Enter some lorem ipsum at the document and create footnotes 2. Use Insert > ToC & Indexes > Index Entry... to create entries for the alphabetical ToC and check Apply to all similar texts in order to affect the footnotes as well Expectation: Footnotes are also respected for the ToC (it works like this on MSO Word).
I'm not an expert with Alphabetical indexes, but I can't confirm I add an index entry ("Apply to all similar texts" is greay out, so I can't select it) => Fotnotes are respected in Aphabetical index (created with Insert => TOC or Alphabetical Index => TOC or Alphabetical index) Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 1c9ced04189c9d23ffea05d5570960b54b05ef28 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: CL
Created attachment 159151 [details] Test document * Select "Lorem", Insert > ToC > Index Entry, (Entry should contain "Lorem") > Check Apply to all > Insert * To make it clear that footnote content has not been index enter a break before so the footnote goes to page #2 * Insert an alphabetical index and see "Lorem" only on p1
Hi Heiko, Could you please add the 'Actual behaviour' vs 'Expected behaviour', even after comment 2, it's hard to follow the steps. A screencast might help as well
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #3) Actual behaviour: Text in footnotes is not taken into account when applying the index to all similar places. Expected behaviour: "Apply to all similar texts" works everywhere.
So you want a footnote pointing to another footnote ? Don't know much about footnotes, but is a footnote to a footnote used in the real world ?
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #5) > So you want a footnote pointing to another footnote ? No. The "Index Entry" function takes a term into an alphabetical ToC. The dialog allows to apply the function to all similar entries but that doesn't work for footnotes (and likely other special areas as well). Example: <Lorem> ipsum dolor est¹. Lorem ipsum dolor est. Lorem ipsum dolor est. ¹ Lorem Brackets to show the selected text, using Apply to all also tags the following Lorem's but not at the footnote.
Made the steps more clear, better aligned with "QA speak" in a way: attachment 159151 [details] Test document * Select "Lorem", Insert > ToC > Index Entry, (Entry should contain "Lorem") > Check Apply to all > Insert, Close * Move your cursor between "amet" and the "1" footnote reference and enter a page break. The footnote goes to page 2 * Insert an alphabetical index (Insert > ToC > ToC > Type: Alphabetical Index) and see "Lorem" appearing in the index only on page 1
I have done all the steps but after all the steps I selected the LOREM from footnote and add it to index. And update index. And is there in the Alphabetical index. It seems it is not considered "the same" because should work from step 1. But somehow it is working, but not how it should.
