This is not about dots between text and page number; dot or period PRECEDES Chapter title TEXT in both Heading in document, and Table of Contents. On a project of 3 ILLUSTRATED books also published as one compiled book, working with Lulu.com MS-Word templates at first (but Word creates inactive TOC so switched to LibreOffice, thank you!) I noticed the Table Of Contents entries all had preceding periods, which would not delete in the table nor the Heading. These are illustrated novels, with about two or three illustrations per page. So text changes or image adjustments MAY also change the text flow around (sometimes under) images. A real pain in the asterisk to error-check. I began to solve the problem Selecting All (in LibreOffice Writer) and Clearing Formatting, then redoing all Headings (chapters) to rebuild the TOC. This worked in the smaller books. I proofed smaller books then copied into the larger summation document. The periods came back, copying the smaller books into the larger book. The text flow changed also, with images sliding out of place, MINIMAL changes but nevertheless - more proofing. I gave up. (because an error/adjustment correction in the compiled book needs copying or repeating in the smaller book, if it exists there, and simply copying the smaller book section and then pasting into the smaller book CREATES TEXT FLOW/IMAGE PLACEMENT problems AGAIN. A circle of frustration. The larger book's TOC and Headings all have undeleteable periods in front of the text. I can live with that, but I shouldn't have to. Hope this helps. Keep up the great work!

Created attachment 168999 [details] Shows preceding UNDELETABLE period at Chapter. I also emailed a link to another version of this document. I added a Chapter 1, and the period appeared. Note one Chapter does NOT have the period. Saved as a Word 2002 doc to upload.
Added Capter 1, and the period appeared.
I had a look at your document It' only a problem with period in headings, because TOC takes entries from your headings. I can't delete it (I've tried with Tools => Chapter Numbering => Numbering => Seperator and deleted the period after). Culd you gibe some information, how you've created that period? => NEEDINFO
@matthew.musial609@gmail.com I removed the period by doing the following: 1. Tools > Chapter Numbering 2. Separator After had a period, which I removed. 3. Save File 4. Reload File Result: Period before Chapter 1 is gone. Additional Information. 1. Tools > Chapter Numbering (the period is back again in Separator After, after reloading, but does not appear in the document) 2. This is a ".doc" file and it is possible that the problem here in an interaction with the .doc filter.
