Very much to my surprise, the Contents pages do no have any
cross-references and also the index has none. Is this correct or did I
something wrong while downloading? In the latter case, one could warn
the reader/downloader.
Links in the Index: I do not know of any way (using OOo's
built-in tools) to make items in the book's index link to the
corresponding pages in the book. I think there is an enhancement
request to add this feature, but I don't know the number.
Links in the Contents: I did not set up the Contents to link to
the headings, because that file was originally created only for
the purpose of printing. Sorry!
I plan to make a book from the full-size pages and it will have
the hyperlinks in the Contents. This has been on my to-do list
for a long time. I will try to find time this weekend to at least
make the links active in the existing file and upload it.
Meanwhile, you can change the Contents page yourself to have
active links: right-click in the Contents, choose Edit, then go
to the Entries tab and use the tools there to make active
hyperlinks (the chapter on Tables of Contents has more info).
Another strange thing is that the page numbers in the contents do not
correspond with the page numbers in the book. Has it to do with the fact
that the book has a format of 6 X 9 and my computer is set to A4 page
layout? Trying to make the page setup to A4 format does not solve the
problem and makes it even worse.
It sounds like there is something wrong with the file. Try
right-clicking in the Contents and choosing Update and see if
that fixes the page numbers. Let me know if that fixes the problem.
