How to add a table of contents or an index to a GRAMPS generated report in [http://www.openoffice.org OpenOffice].
==Getting Started==
[[Image:Toc tutorial 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Fig. 2 Book Report]]
   Open Office is a great companion for GrampsGRAMPS. As of Gramps GRAMPS version 2.1.5 marks are embedded in reports created in Open Document Text (.odt) (also in the older Open Office (.sxw) formats). These tags allow the creation of a Table of Contents or Index of names in OpenOffice.
The first step is to create a report. This example creates a book report to demonstrate that multiple reports can be combined.
     In this example, you can see that the book will include a title page, a Complete Individual Report, a Detailed Decendant Descendant Report and a Detailed Ancestor Report. Click {{man button|OK}} to generate the report.
==Insert a Table of Contents==
Once the report has been generated, open it in Open Office. Many people like the Table of Contents to appear after the Title Page. To do so, first insert a page break after the text of the Title Page.

       In the {{man label|Indexes and Tables}} dialog, change the type to {{man label|Table of Contents}}. Also, be sure that the {{man label|Outline}} check box is unchecked and the {{man label|Index Marks}} check box is checked. This tells Open Office to create the TOC from the marks that were embedded by GrampsGRAMPS.          
After you click {{man button|OK}}, the Table of Contents should appear.

Most people like the index to be at the end of the book. To do so, place the cursor at the very end of the book, and insert a page break like you did for the TOC.
 
 
 
 
 
Next, open the {{man label|Indexes and Tables}} dialog like you did for the TOC. This time, change the type to {{man label|Alphabetical Index}}.
 
 
Click {{man button|OK}} and the index will appear.
