One more quick note:
Edward Mendelson has written another somewhat different commentary on
LibreOffice 5 that can be found at:

Thank you to all who replied. The problem was solved by a kind reply
offline by Cley. I had not known about the Browse mode in Okular, my
pdf reader.
Not a LO problem at all but down to incomplete familiarity with my pdf
reader.

It seems that today, someone did not have a good day.

Hi :)

Except i do see this as a lost opportunity for LibreOffice. At least for
the immediate future. On the other hand, as pointed out by Marianne, at
least AOO did work and that brings her within the same eco-system.
That is the main issue. The specific program/suite is much less relevant.
Sure, the whole of my LO document is style based and the TOC links work
great inside the LO document. But not in the exported pdf document. So I
probably didn't understand something.

Marianne, it's really strange since I use to install LO on a daily basis on

I don't know if it's a mirrored files issue or if it's something on -that-

behaviors.
