[Solved] Table of contents not changing style

[Tam22]

Hello, I have a problem with changing the style of my table of contents. I tried to modify the style so the text is aligned to the left and it is not changing. Also, I don't know how to get rid of the dots. I want the table of contents to be simple and easy to read. No matter what I so it's not changing it. Please help.

Right click on the table of contents and select Edit Index/Table. On the Entries tab of the dialog, what is in the box to the right of the label Structure? An image of that dialog would be useful to see.

That?

In the Structure line, click on the first T and then press the Delete key. Do the same to the second T. You should then have just the symbols E, T, and #. Those will cause the table of contents to show the headings, a series of dots, and the page number.

Ok, so that brought my level 1 headings to the left, but the level 2 is still on the right and there are still too many dots.

[Tam22]

Ok, yes I managed to get it the way I want now, except the page numbers

[FJCC]

What is wrong with the page numbers?

[Tam22]

They're not showing anymore

I now have them showing, but they are to the left of the heading instead of on the right

You might find Tables of Contents in the OpenOffice Wiki a useful reference for managing the table of contents.

The Wiki advice doesn't help with these questions. Thanks so much for the help so far, I could never think of it myself and I did try to search for it.

If the numbers are to the left of the headings, then the # symbol in the Structure box must be to the left of the E. Delete the # and then click to the right of the T and click on the Page No. button just below the Structure box.

Ok, fixed now. And now I understand how it works.
Thanks so much!

Perhaps you missed the links on the right of that page, one of which is Customizing a table of contents; that page also has a few links at the bottom which are relevant.
