Table of Contents

Writer 4.4 iMac. I wish to create a simple of Contents with three levels, each formatted. When I Insert Table of Contents the word Contents appears, but no entries. The options for formatting are complex and not at all explained in the Help section and not at all in the book Writer 3.4. Would I do better to use HTML links? Or just create a Contents manually?

It’s better that you create it manually.
