So, are you talking about table of contents or index?

ToC's are usually placed at beginning or end of book and contain list of
chapters, subchapters, sections, subsections etc. with page numbers. Items are
ordered in the same manner they appear in book and you should not change that.

Indexes are usually by the end of book and contain list of alphabetically
sorted keyword with page numbers (so reader can easily if and where is
particular subject in the book).

Either way, please read LO Writer documentation:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/c/c8/0212WG3-TOCsIndexesBiblios.pdf

If you need any additional help, don't hesitate to ask on the list.

Re: Table of Contents in alphabetic order?

Hi :)
Can yo cheat and insert an Index at the front and then just have it index the chapter headings?

(Kinda following the old saying "If in doubt, cheat")

Tom :)

It does not matter where you put your Index, it indexes whole document (the
logic behind it is nicely exposed in LaTeX, when you have to process document
two times in order to generate Index). Indexes are usually placed by the end
of book and most user search them there.

You can index chapter heading (why couldn't you?).

You can't index Table of Content (which would be pointless anyway).

Oh, and if by your question you try to know if you can use Index in function
of Table of Contents - perhaps with big enough effort you could, but why
bother? If you need ToC, then you create ToC; if you need Index, then you
create Index. They are different things invented for different purposes.

Tom,

Since I've mastered adding a TOC with hyperlinks I was hoping I could
create an alphabetic ordered TOC since Indexes don't support hyperlinks
that'll take you to a specific location within a document.

Thanks

Re: Table of Contents in alphabetic order?

I've spent over 24 hours, in the past, to get that to work with indexes
and it doesn't.

The directions in "danilop" do not work for me.  There's probably some
way to configure Styles and Paragraphs to allow for links in indexes but
I haven't enough brains in my head (or patience) to spend any more time
on this.  Someone, not an expert, should write an simple guide on how to
do it as too many assumptions are made which aren't included in the
directions.

The hyperlink button isn't available in Indexes in my situation....no
matter what I do.  The hyperlink button is grayed out.  It's only
available when I work with TOC.
