Re: [libreoffice-users] Exclude page numbers from TOC

I redid it with Girvin's reminder to delete the tab and page numbers for 
each TOC level used in my document. This time it worked, so as I suspected, 
for me at least, it was user error, or at least user ignorance.

Each level in the table of contents is formatted separately. I suppose this 
is a good thing as someone, sometime, might want one level to have page 
numbers and another to not have page numbers. I guess it's nice to have the 
flexibility, but often with flexibility comes complexity.

Good morning
I tried to follow your instructions, but like with Mr. Arrington:
nothing at all happens.

Actually ...
I deleted all items in the"structure" list, one by one, until nothing is
left there and updated the TOC ...
NOTHING happens. Checked each time I deleted an item.
Now, that cannot be right.

Any other suggestions?
Thomas
