Bug #: 43530
Summary: Indexing of book
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: chrisleff...@uwclub.net
1. I am puzzled also about the indexing application in Writer. I am indexxing
a long transcript of a historical document. Entering an index entry has
pitfalls because the Help does not make it clear that "Entry" and the first
Kkey need to be the same, with any extra text added ("Barker, Sir Richard -
will of" when "Barker" is the Entry.) because First Key is what appears at the
head of the actual index, whereas "Entry", which in my (latest) version appears
after the first and second keys needs to be told not to print.
2. I also find that the Index Entry dialogue behaves very peculiarly if you
leave it up but go to refer to another file for information or whatever; it
reverts to its first entry or qa string of other entries from previous
indexing, and it is not clear in any help that I have seen how the up-down
arrows and the right and left behave. This has been very frustrating when doing
two or three hundred entries!!
3. After attempting it in OOo and now in Libre - which I like! - I still have
not managed to understand the process for entering hyperlinks in the Indexing
system. If the row of boxes with the "E" and the "#" etc were better explained
and it were to say "This box is for .... and is where the start of the
hyperlink goes" and similarly for the ending,it might help the elderly llike
me!"
4. Autocorrect -
I use it a great deal with "shorthand" abbreviations to save retyping a lot of
long words and short phrases which recur in the book I am writing, Why is it so
slow to appear and idsappear when you press ALT -T- A and OK to revert to the
document?? It cqn take six or seven seconds, which is not helpful to
productivity
Its a great program and my wife and daughter now use it. Perhaps I am testing
it more, soI would like to hear from someone authoritative if they can spare
the time.
