2. First decide whether to select the entry from the records contained in the bibliography
database or from the entries that are contained in the current document (and which can
differ from entries of the same name in the bibliography database). An entry in the
document content can be identical to an entry in the Bibliography Database. The entry in
the document has precedence.
3. If the required entry already exists as a data record select it in the list box Short name and
click Insert. If the desired entry does not yet exist, create a new entry. If the New button is
used to do this, one can define a new record, but this will only be recognized in the current
document.
If the record should be included in the bibliography database, choose Tools >
Bibliography Database, enter the new record and then insert the bibliography database
entry in the document.
Updating, Editing and Deleting Indexes and Tables of Contents
Indices and Table of Contents are snapshots of what is present at the time they are created.
Obviously there are occasions when these need updating, editing or deleting. The following
instructions give the steps needed to accomplish any of the above tasks.
1. Place the cursor in the index/table and right click to open the context menu.
2. Select the desired command:
a) Update Index/Table
b) Delete Index/Table
c) Edit Index/Table
d) Edit Paragraph Style
Note: (d) Edit Index/Table is only available if Insert > Indexes and Tables >Indexes and Tables > Index/Table >
Protected from manual changes is selected. This is because, by default, indices and tables of contents are
protected from changes.
Editing the Format of an Index/Table of Contents
The Entries tab on the Insert > Indexes and Tables >Indexes and Tables dialogue permits
editing the format of an index. In this tab, alter the way in which entries, tab stops and page
numbers are arranged et cetera. Using the Styles tab, assign other Paragraph Styles . For
detailed instructions, refer to the OpenOffice.org Help.
Hyperlinks can be automatically assigned to the entries in the table of contents using the
following method:
1. Go to the Entries tab page,
2. Place the cursor in the structure row before the entry <E#>
3. Click the Hyperlink button, then place the cursor after <E> and click Hyperlink again.
