{{out of date|update if needed for current gramps 3.3 and images}} How to add a table of contents or an index to a Gramps generated report in [http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ LibreOffice] or [http://www.openoffice.org OpenOffice]. LibreOffice is a great companion for Gramps.
==Getting started==

LibreOffice is a great companion for Gramps. Gramps embeds marks in reports created in the Open Document Text (.odt) format (also in the older Open Office (.sxw) formats). These tags allow the creation of a Table of Contents or Index of names in program.
The first step is to create a report. This example creates a book report to demonstrate that multiple reports can be combined.
==Insert a Table of Contents==

Once the report has been generated, open it in LibreOffice. 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.
From the {{man button|file}} menu, select {{man menu|Insert->Manual Break ...'}}. Choose {{man button|Page Break}} and click {{man button|OK}}

==Insert an Index==

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.
