That is the follow-on style that will be applied after using the first style; in my case I use the following sequence Heading 1 (shows as Chapter nn) Heading 2 (Chapter title) Heading 3 (section title) Heading 4 (date/time of the action in this section - this will ultimately be eliminated from the finished work) FirstPara (paragraph style, using Drop caps, set with first line flush left) Default (standard paragraph style) Default (continuing until I use another Heading 1 for a new chapter) > > Below it is another item that says: Linked with, the box has None in it. > I don't know what this does either. "Linked with" allows a style to be based on another style; not always available. Any changes made to the linked style may echo through to the new style. > Below it is Category, Text Styles, grayed out, > and below that a large box with the label: Contains, inside it, don't > count lines. > > So what needs to be done to get page numbering, centering, and fonts for: > The Title page, > the Copyright notice, > and the table of contents. > > I would like the table of contents to have page numbers for the chapters, > and it would be nice to have the chapter names come from the documents. > Is that easy to do? > > jrh > Initially use Heading 1 style for Chapter names. Default setting for ToC displays the chapter names taken from the Heading 1 styles and the page numbers of the chapters. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
