Before I lose my mind: OpenOffic - How To Create A Table Of Contents

by stayfocused

Ok, I am working on a project and I am using openOffice to do it because I like how easy it is to export to a pdf.

I am currently trying to create a Table of Contents and I have never come across something so confusing in my whole life.

I like to think I am fairly intelligent but I am really starting to reevaluate that right now.

I have the help files open that are supposed to walk you through the whole process of setting up a Table of Contents.

I can't just list the 9 chapter names, tell it the page number and be done with it.

Can anyone offer any assistance or any suggestions?

Thanks

    I just realized I didn't give much information in my moment of temporary insanity.

    I am in the insert index/table screen. I click on the entries tab.

    Now the structure is what I have no idea about. What is with all the letters?

    E# E T # etc.

    Now when I change some things it shows up on the left. I have no idea what the levels mean. I can't get it to just list 1 chapter name then go to the next line and enter the next chapter name with page numbers

      I have done that.

      I have found a good tutorial on youtube that I am watching right now.

      I had no clue about creating heading1, 2, etc.

      Having a video walk me through this has made my life much easier.

      lesson to be learned:

      Always check youtube for a tutorial before you waste your time posting a thread on a forum
