------- Additional comments from andrewwil...@openoffice.org Thu Feb 5 22:41:08 +0000 2009 ------- I have a document, a book to be more precise, that has beginning page numbers in lower case roman numerals, and then restarts the numbering at 1 with regular numerals when the main text starts. This is very common in books. The preface and table of contents are usually numbered differently before the main text. When I create an alphabetic index, the roman numeral page numbers and the regular page numbers show up, but they are sorted together as in the following example. Dog....2,x,15,xvi It seems more intuitive and appropriate that they should be sorted as follows: Dog....x,xvi,2,15 Or, at least have an option of which method one prefers, as this is the actual order in which they are found within the book. Perhaps this is another issue, but if one of the page styles has "no number format" then the index will look like this. My table of contents, for example, had no page number format for awhile, which in some cases may be wanted. Dog....2, ,15,xvi In this case, it seems the missing entry should be removed entirely. I'll try to create a small document that demonstrates this and attach it asap. OpenOffice rocks, and I appreciate all the work and effort that goes into it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
