Table of Contents Format messy!

Using Outline Numbering I have

1 Heading One

1.1 Sub Heading 2

1.1.1 Sub Heading 3

When I create a table of contents, generating the topics from the outline, the space between the outline number and topic is dropped:

1Heading One…1

1.1Sub Heading 2…2

1.1.1Sub Heading 3…3

Itlooksveryunprofessional.

How do I prevent that and ensure the space (tab?) in the original outline format is displayed?

Thanks

I found two ways to do it. The first one is probably better.

Right click on the ToC, Edit Index ToC, Entries Tab, add in a space between the chapter# code and Entry code. This will need to be done for each level. Click on All to apply the current setting to All Levels (so long as the other levels are not individually configured). Watch the preview to see the way it changes.

Under Tools, Outline Numbering, set the Separator, After, with a space. This will also affect the heading in the document (this is why I prefer the first method). Set it for each level required.

The related bug to improve this is tdf#44282 which is being worked on at present.

Thanks, very useful. Instead of adding a space (the first method) I added a tabstop and specified tab stop position.
