You can select up to 10 levels of indentation but in my experience, anything over 3 levels becomes confusing and distracting.Īgain, from my own technical writing experience, an Index of Illustrations/Figures and an Index of Tables come in very handy when your document includes dozens and even hundreds of tables and figures. Select Indexes and Tables once again to display the main screen where you decide what goes into your TOC or Index, and how the finished product should look:īy using this screen, you can create a regular Table of Contents, Alphabetical Index, Illustration Index, Index of Tables, User Defined Index, Table of Objects, and a Bibliography. Select Insert > Indexes and Tables from the main menu to display the sub-menu. OpenOffice and LibreOffice, two free and open-source office productivity software suites, offer such a wealth of indexing options.
