Hi I have a 100 page document which others use. A suggestion was given to link the Table of Contents chapters to their corresponding pages. I made a feeble attempt but have never used a feature like this and don’t know how. Is this a feature of Bookmarks? I am writing and saving in .odt format, but publishing in PDF using Libre.
Apologies, but I came from Word 2002 and so far Libre is great! I’ve been using v.6.3.
If you have used Styles in your document, then creating a Table of Contents can be as easy as clicking in the document where you want the ToC, then clicking Insert > Table of Contents and Index > Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography, and clicking OK.

Hi Thank you. I have not used Styles nor am I familiar with it. I do presently have a ToC which I struggle with all the time with page number alignment and every other kind of alignment that’s possible. I presume I’d need to chuck my ToC and start over. I’ll review the Documention page, thanks! Don
Have you used the built-in Headings? Or did you just use a bigger font size or bold? If you used the built-in Heading styles then the Table of Contents should be as simple as described above.
And the “standard” TOC created from the Heading n styled paragraph provides hyperlinks to the headings.
To be clear, I have an existing ToC, 2 pages. Any hope of modifying that to connect topics directly to the corresponding pages? I will look for the Heading n styled paragraph, so far don’t see it. Looks like I would need to re-create a ToC under Insert tab.
To everyone, Thank you much, will try to do this. Thanks very much, will all this info I should be able to do it the right way as soon as I get a day to work with it! Question, I purposely did not select the newest version (using 6.3) of Libre last year, am wondering if I should upgrade? I usually avoid beta versions but now there are several above this one.
Haven’t you created this ToC manually?
You should start from scratch and use the built-in feature, that is using the Heading x paragraph styles. See: How do I insert a table of contents into my document?. There are other sections in this FAQ if you need to customize the ToC.
In the menu Tools > Chapter Numbering, you’ll find all you want to configure the numbering if you need one.
