Sorry, that was a stupid question - in your second screenshot there is an empty document and a cropped Tools menu. And what is the system font size you have installed? Standard? Or increased? If increased, then by what percentage?
I have not changed the system font size, and didn’t even know I could (I am not a super-user). It should therefore be set at the factory defaults. For the Heading 1 style, I have it set to Arial, Bold, 115%, Centered and Underlined. As regards your previous question, I get the same truncated menus in new, empty, documents also. Sigh.
By the way, user profile on the path C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user, not in C:\Program Files. But WIKI say “select Continue in safe mode → Test and see if the problem is gone → If the problem persists, you can exit the safe mode because the user profile was not the cause of the problem.” So, problem in other place.
OK, Let’s try to download and install AOO (you don’t need to remove LiO, they do not interfere with each other). And let’s see how the menu is displayed there. In the end, you will at least get the opportunity to create a TOC for your document.
Just went to C:\Users\KLN\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user and do not see a user profile folder, unless it is the full “user” folder. Is that whole folder to be deleted?
Will open a copy of my document in AOO and play with it in there.
Yes, the “\user” folder is the profile folder. But it seems to make no sense to delete it - rebooting in safe mode did not show the full menus. So the reason for the failure is not there.
AOO shows the menu completely? For example, the Insert menu there is also long. If here the bottom items are not present, then this is still the problem of this particular Windows, something with its settings.
Making slight progress. The Indexes and Tables link needed to build the TOC was in the Insert menu of AOO as it should be. My dropdown was long like the image you have. Some wording slightly different, same items.
I was able to follow the instructions for a Table of Contents in AOO and generated one in the spot where I wished it to be. However, somehow I generated duplicate entries for each heading, and the move from LO to OO disrupted my line spacing a bit in the document, which I can manually fix, but which also highlights the dangers of moving from one app to the other.
Well, not a single text editor is immune to loss of formatting (even a proprietary one) - text layout can sometimes change even after setting another printer as default.
I found a temporary solution to your problem, a workaround.
You can call the Tools-Options menu with the Alt + F12 hotkey. To the Tools-Customize menu you can enter from the context menu of the toolbar - right-click on any icon and select Customize Toolbar (I hope this item is there). Then you can move the TOC menu item higher to where it will be visible. Or assign him a hotkey. Or put on the toolbar.
Well, after many hours of JohnSUN’s time, I finally found a solution. Not one I like, but one which provided a workaround. I used a copy of Open Office 4.1.6 which I have on my machine. The table of contents updated properly when I opened it in LibreOffice. Not an elegant solution, but a workaround that I can accept for now.
Now, to figure out how to remove the grey background color. And, why in the Sam Hill is that even inserted? Why not leave it transparent, unless the user selects a background. Really a useless feature, for those who are in the document writing occupation.
