Bug ID: 130003
Summary: ALPHABETICAL INDEX: make it easier to index ranges of
pages
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: greenandpleasant2000-supp...@yahoo.co.uk
THE PROBLEM
Currently, in order to create a page range for an entry term in an alphabetical
index (e.g. Pitt, William 121-130), you have to highlight an entry term on EACH
page of the range. This is tolerable for ranges of a few pages, but for longer
ranges it is tedious and time-consuming; it also clutters up the text with
index marks.
THE SOLUTION
Amend the procedure so that only the first and last pages of the entry term
range needs to be indexed. The procedure might be as follows:
1. The "Insert Index Entry" dialogue should be open.
2. Highlight the entry term at the START of the desired page range.
3. Tick "Start Range" (a new check-box in the "Insert Index Entry" dialogue).
Update entry and amend it, if required, then INSERT.
4. Highlight the entry term at the END of the desired page range.
5. Tick "End Range" (a new check-box in the "Insert Index Entry" dialogue).
Update entry and amend it, if required, then INSERT.
