Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7013
Update just page numbers in ToC
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:40:23 UTC
There is no possibility to update just the page numbers in a table of contents or other index in OOO. You always lose all manual formatting if you refresh the table of contents. It would be great, if you could update just the page numbers. Maybe instead of text, the page numbers should be fields?

This seems to be a simple task. However, it seems that nothing has happened related to this issue since Mar 23 2003. Am I right?
IMHO I think this is not a very useful option: I think everything could be done with styles and table of contents configuration. In this case, this must be the way of working to generate indexes. If this is not right, I suggest leaving this kind of changes to the last phase of writing that very special document. The solution may make openoffice more complex and error prone. In fact, probably the option of editing manually the indexes is what has motivated issue 25710 not being solved before.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
