Description: The change in Heading style->Font Effect->UPPERCASE does not propagate to the index|Table of Content, after updating it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new doc, new paragraph and apply a Heading (any heading) paragraph style. 2. Insert a TOC 2. Change the Heading style Font Effects->Effects->UPPERCASE, apply. The Heading is displayed in UPPERCASE 3. Update TOC 4. The TOC does not reflect the paragraph entry in UPPERCASE Actual Results: The TOC does not reflect the change of case (UPPERCASE) in the heading style. Expected Results: IMHO, the TOC should reflect the "actual case" (UPPERCASE) of the paragraph entry. If I type a TOC entry in an ALL UPPERCASE, or in a mixed case, the TOC shows its case OK. But the change in the heading style is not propagated to the TOC. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I really doesn't know for sure if this has to be considered a "real" bug, or a matter of formatting style of the TOC. Please ignore this report if what I am saying does not make sense :-)

"Table of Contents" has its own style that can be set via the "Styles" tab of the "Table of Content, Index, or Bibliography" menu. I find no logic in the suggestion that the ToC should keep by default the character or paragraph style of the entries (font, font effects, etc.). These are different and independent elements on a document. Moreover, you can write the titles in upper case and the letter case will be applied directly in the table of contents.

Hi phv, and thank you for your promptly reply. :-) Yes, I do know that the TOC has its own style but, as a user, I do not see the "logic" behind this particular case (no pun intended) :-) As you say, if one type the entry "by hand", the TOC keeps/respect the exact case of the entry (be it lower, upper, camel case, small caps). But (and this is a big BUT) if the user wants to automate this process, using the heading style, the TOC ceases to respect the desired case. A thing/change that should be done "just in one place, and applied everywhere" (the very purpose of a style existence), ends in a change in the heading style, and/or the TOC style. I am aware that this is a special corner case, and I wasn't advocating to keep "the whole paragraph style for the entry", only de font effect to ease this use case, so I am going to close this bug. Thank you (all) very much for the great work in Libreoffice!
