Re: [libreoffice-users] TOC corrupted, includes text from chapter

Hi :)  
Hopefully Regina or someone are going to give an awesome elegant answer but my bodge-it methods 
might shake it loose.  

1.  Can you start as though you are going  to use the text-editor route but instead of pasting into 
a text-editor just re-paste back into the LibreOffice document?  However, when doing the re-pasting 
use
Shift Ctrl v
instead of just 
Ctrl v
The use of the shift key gives you options such as "Paste as Unformatted text".  Does that work any 
better?

2.  If not then undo that and get back to the way it was before and then just select the text that 
is being picked up by the ToC and from the menus click on 
Format - "Remove direct formatting"

3.  If that doesn't work then again select the area that is going wrong and use the styles to 
deliberately change it to something you blatantly don't want, such as "List style" and then change 
it back.  

Regards from
Tom :)
