One of the biggest complaints I hear about OpenOffice is that it is unsupported and there are no manuals or guides for moving from MS Office Word to OpenOffice Writer.
Fortunately, the good folks at OpenOffice have published a guide to meet this need and it’s free!
You can download the 447-page OpenOffice Writer Manual from scribd.
I like this post because it has the method for using styles to set up a table of contents.
It”s similar to the way you do it in MS Office.
There is no point re-inventing the wheel, so I will link to it here:
Quick Guide to Creating Automatic Tables of Contents
If you wish to download an OpenOffice Writer file and fiddle with a Table of Contents that has already been created, please download the OpenOffice Writer Table of Contents Sample document that I have put together.
My name is Stephanie Krishnan and I'm passionate about the way that open source software and its community can help small businesses and individuals with their productivity and lives. One of the biggest arguments I get from business owners, however, is lack of support options. I decided to put together my own support blog to help people be productive at various levels with one of my favourite open source alternatives: OpenOffice.org! I do this through tutorials, downloadable templates and answers to questions from readers!
